Recently, commemorative coins and bills for the Year of the Snake have been very popular domestically. For collectors, they are a beloved item, while for scalpers, they represent an opportunity to make money. In the sports field, there have also been precedents of issuing commemorative coins for certain star athletes, and recently, such news has emerged regarding Cristiano Ronaldo (C罗). Portuguese media recently revealed that the central bank of Portugal is considering issuing a commemorative coin featuring Ronaldo, with a face value of 7.5 euros.
However, in the early hours of today, the Portuguese central bank issued a statement clarifying that this news is false. They have no plans to issue any commemorative coins or bills related to Ronaldo. They also stated that the approval authority for the issuance plan lies with the national printing bureau's mint. Although this is false news, for many fans of Ronaldo, the president's status is already great enough, and there is no need to prove it by issuing currency.
Currently, the president's focus is still on Saudi Arabia. In a recent interview with the official Saudi League, he revealed that his goal is to help Al-Nassr win the AFC Champions League title. In recent years, the Saudi league has made significant progress, with many international superstars joining. He hopes that in the next five to ten years, Saudi football can continue to develop.
However, if Al-Nassr wants to win the championship, they must strengthen their lineup. During the winter transfer window, they also let go of Brazilian forward Talisca. However, for his new coach Mourinho, whether this transaction aligns with his true intentions remains uncertain. The "Aspen" newspaper recently revealed that Mourinho actually prefers to acquire Chelsea's forward Felix instead of Talisca. Two months ago, he expressed at a press conference that Talisca is an excellent player, but Fenerbahce also has equally outstanding stars, such as Tadic and others.
It may be that for Fenerbahce's management, Talisca's price is more suitable, given the obvious age difference between the two. As for Al-Nassr, they are interested in signing Moroccan forward Enesri and have raised the price to 34 million euros. It remains to be seen whether Al-Nassr can secure the deal.
