After the New Year, Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with Saudi team Al-Nassr has only six months left, expiring at the end of June this year, and currently there is no renewal. Therefore, the famous media score90 has listed the potential destinations for Ronaldo, including Newcastle, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Miami, Al-Hilal, and Sporting CP.
Two years ago, Ronaldo left his old club Manchester United to play in the Saudi league. He has now played 83 games for Al-Nassr in various competitions, scoring 74 goals and providing 18 assists, which is still a very impressive record. The only regret is that since Ronaldo joined, he has never helped Al-Nassr win any championships.
For this reason, Ronaldo has the idea of leaving Al-Nassr, also in pursuit of championship honors.
However, the team reporters from Al-Hilal and Sporting CP have already refuted the rumors. Now it is reported that Paris Saint-Germain is interested in signing the Portuguese superstar, but soon French media RMC responded that PSG has not had any dialogue with Ronaldo, nor are there any indications that the club wants to sign him.
At the same time, Inter Miami is also unlikely because Messi is still in the team, and Suarez, Alba, and Busquets are also playing there. In the new season, they may even introduce Neymar. Moreover, Ronaldo has no connection with Messi or those stars who played for Barcelona.
Therefore, the team that Ronaldo is most likely to sign with will be the wealthy Premier League team Newcastle. The rumors between the two sides have been going on for more than a year. Since Newcastle's backer is a Saudi consortium, it would not be surprising if they were to loan Ronaldo for half a year.
If Newcastle introduces Ronaldo, the two sides will at least sign a contract for one and a half years. The winter transfer window for the Premier League has already opened for the second day, and the return of the Portuguese superstar to the Premier League is undoubtedly a major news.
Currently in the Premier League standings, Newcastle has 32 points, surpassing the defending champion Manchester City to rank fifth, and is only 3 points away from the top four. There is hope to surpass one of Manchester City, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, and Arsenal to advance to the next season's Champions League.
Ronaldo has only played for one Premier League team, Manchester United, twice joining them. From 2003 to 2009, he won 8 championships, and from August 2021 to December 2022, he did not win any team honors.
