Cristiano Ronaldo is already choosing his new team after announcing his departure from Manchester United
Cristiano Ronaldo is on the market for sale. His sudden departure from Manchester United, puts him in an alley with few, if not just one, exits, which would mean giving up playing in football’s elite clubs.
The truth is that his experiences after leaving Real Madrid were very negative. His departure from Juventus was very complicated and tense with his teammates, while his departure from United is now already known. Thursday starts his fifth World Cup and, for now, without a team, but is very close to what could be his next destination.
Last summer he received many offers from Saudi Arabia, as reported by Marca newspaper at the time and which the Portuguese admitted in a press conference last Monday. The offer reached 242 million euros for two seasons.
The Portuguese refused this because of his idea of continuing to fight for important titles and increasing his achievements and numbers in the Champions League, something that Manchester United could not offer him either.
The search scope has been significantly reduced on this occasion. The greats of Europe have turned their backs on him, and the truth is that no one can afford the exorbitant cost involved in his existence, whether in sport or coexistence in the dressing room.
Taking a step back, everything indicates that his destination will be the Saudi club Al-Nasr, a football that is growing (it showed well with the victory over Argentina) but is far from the intense rivalry that Cristiano Ronaldo demands.
The owner of the victory, Prince Faisal bin Turki, is seeking a coup to put Cristiano Ronaldo, the team and the entire Saudi championship on the map. The offer is very close to the one received last summer. Now the circumstances are different and the Portuguese seems determined to make the move.
Spanish central defender Alvaro Gonzalez is one of the stars of the Saudi team, despite the presence of Rudi Garcia as technical director. It is a club that is accustomed to fighting for Saudi titles and those of the Gulf region and Asia, that is, far from the glamor of European competitions. In return, the money he will receive doubles what you can earn in Europe.
