Former Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has allegedly been offered a way
back to the Premier League and European football 2️⃣ from Saudi Arabia. The Al-Nassr star
has reportedly been informed that he can join Newcastle United in 2024, according to 2️⃣ a
report from El Nacional.
Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United in November 2024 when
his contract was mutually terminated following irreconcilable 2️⃣ differences with manager
Erik ten Hag. The veteran forward joined Saudi giants Al-Nassr in January 2024 after
the FIFA World 2️⃣ Cup in Qatar.
The 38-year-old has continued to roll back the years in
Saudi, with 24 goals in 24 appearances in 2️⃣ the Saudi Pro League since his arrival. His
performances in the league have caught the eye of the club's owners, 2️⃣ who have now
allegedly offered him a path back to Europe.
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been
offered a move to English 2️⃣ outfit Newcastle United, a side owned by the owners of
Al-Nassr. The forward has allegedly not been very receptive to 2️⃣ the idea as of yet, but
will likely consider it in the coming weeks.
The Magpies are interested in
strengthening their 2️⃣ squad with some superstar additions after spending big on Sandro
Tonali in the summer. Their 4-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain 2️⃣ in the UEFA Champions
League would have given them a huge confidence booster.
Cristiano Ronaldo could not yet
be sold on 2️⃣ move to Newcastle United
While Cristiano Ronaldo has continued to rule the
Saudi Pro League as his personal fiefdom, the Portuguese 2️⃣ great would feel like he
deserves more competition. Despite the influx of a great number of top European talent
into 2️⃣ the country, he will feel like he needs a tougher test.
Since leaving Manchester
United, Ronaldo seems to have closed the 2️⃣ door on a return to Europe, as he looks
prepared to end his career in Saudi. The forward has won 2️⃣ virtually everything there is
to win in Europe and continues to be invited to the Portuguese national team despite
moving 2️⃣ to Al-Nassr.
Newcastle United were ironically the team Cristiano Ronaldo scored
twice against on his second Manchester United debut in 2024. 2️⃣ They are a side with
prestige in English football and have ambitious owners who have shown an interest in
signing 2️⃣ top players, including Vinicius Junior, reportedly.
A move to the Magpies may
not be in the works yet for Ronaldo, but 2️⃣ the situation is one to keep considering. The
Portuguese star is extremely competitive and may decide to return to England 2️⃣ in January
ahead of next summer's Euros.
