Former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly decided to seal a transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr and will join them on January 1st.
The Portugal international is currently a free agent after leaving Man Utd, and will be focusing on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar for the time being, but there’s been plenty of speculation over where he’ll end up next.
Now a report from Marca suggests a deal is in place for Ronaldo to join Al Nassr in January, with the 37-year-old finally leaving Europe after almost two decades of playing at the very highest level.
Ronaldo struggled for playing time towards the end of his second spell with United, so it’s not too surprising that he is now perhaps having to look outside of Europe for his next club.
The veteran forward will turn 38 in February and it remains to be seen how much longer he’ll even stay in the game, so there might have been a number of top sides who ultimately decided it wasn’t worth the risk.
MUFC fans will surely wish Ronaldo well even if things ended on a sour note for him at Old Trafford after his recent explosive interview with Piers Morgan in which he criticised Erik ten Hag and some of his teammates past and present.
Such a shame that the greatest player to ever Grace the pitch at Old Trafford has left under such a cloud, as a Man Utd fan and massive supporter of Ronaldo I just wish he hadn’t aired his dirty laundry in public and left under such acrimonious circumstances.
Nevertheless, he will be hugely missed by all us fans and I hope he continues to enjoy success for whatever club he signs for.
Am with you on this…
He felt that’s the only way thru which he will end his stay at Old Trafford…
Hes not the greatest player to ever grace the pitch at old Trafford
That’s what we expect in life, Ronaldo has been great to the club i supported Man U because i loved to see His sweet dribles. I wish Him The best Still i’ll be watching Him in saudi
Hes not the greatest player to ever grace the pitch at old Trafford
I’m right here with you my favorite one
Just Don’t stop doing what you do best (scoring)
He wasn’t treated well this second time round and the fickle fans that forgot he single handedly got United into europa because the current crop were, and still are, useless. This is the thanks he gets from those fickle fans. He didn’t do a Becks; it wasn’t about him being bigger than the club. He wanted more ambition from the hierarchy and better facilities but none were there. Eth looks like he’s going to take credit for CR7 departure but we all know he had nothing to do with it. Disappointed with Sancho, delighted with garnacho and hope gakpo comes and allows Rashford and martial to leave because let’s be real they’ve been there long enough and still can’t deliver. To the goat that is CR7 you will be deeply missed but I am grateful that I got to see you in that red 7 shirt.
I wish Ronald best of luck wherever the club you may sign I will be your fans forever
I wish Ronaldo all the best ,loved watching him throughout his career, an amazing footballer and person. Simply the best 👍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤
