Cristiano Ronaldo could give in to the temptation of money and end up playing in Arab soccer, according to recent rumors.
The Portuguese striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, does not want to stay this season with the Manchester United and has asked to be released. However, it is widely known that the English team does not want to let him go because he still has one year left on his contract. The European press has said that there are several teams interested in acquiring the services of the Portuguese, but in order to leave he needs the approval of the Manchester team and that would only come in exchange for a juicy offer.
According to the Spanish sports publication Mundo Deportivo, CNN Portugal aired a news piece associating the soccer player to Arab soccer:
A Saudi Arabian club, whose name has not yet been revealed, would pay around 300 million euros to acquire the services of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Yes, you read that right, 300 million euros. However, the total amount wouldn’t go to Manchester United because, according to CNN Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo would receive $250 million if he signs a two-year contract.
Cristiano Ronaldo looking for new team for 2022-2023 season
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United and despite being the player who showed the most on the pitch, the team’s current form did not allow him to replicate the success he had in the first stage. The English team will be unable to compete in this year’s Champions League due to poor results in the season that concluded in May, which is the major reason CR7 sought his departure.
Cristiano Ronaldo is considered one of the best players in the world, but he is already 37 years old, and although he remains fit, he may not have many years of activity left. Due to this, the Portuguese player wants to be able to play his final years of his career in elite teams that can compete in the best tournaments at club level and unfortunately, the “Red Devils” can’t offer him that right now.
Manchester United has already said that he is not for sale, and manager Erik ten Hag himself has stated that the 37-year-old striker is in their plans for next season.
There is still time for Cristiano Ronaldo to switch teams, if that’s what he wants, but we don’t know how much money they will offer to convince United to let him go. With the rumored million-dollar offer, the story takes a different direction, and we will have to keep waiting.
