Nobody Wants Ronaldo!

--:--
Since his remarkable return to Manchester, Cristiano Ronaldo continued to show his professionalism and football prowess by continuing to be on the score sheet, grabbing 18 goals for the Red Devils in the league, however, Manchester United finished in a dismal 6th position (the worst placement in their history.) It is evident that changes need to happen and with the likes of Erik ten Hag coming in, changes seem to be happening. Cristiano on the other hand seems as if he wants ‘out’ of the red devils as he wouldn’t play UEFA Champions League football if he stayed, and for Mr. Champions League himself is a big problem. Since he handed in his transfer request, clubs such as PSG, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich have rejected the 37-year-old superstar. The latest to come from the CR7 camp is that Ronaldo has ‘rejected’ a move to an unnamed Saudi Arabia team, on a 2-year deal worth €200 Million, but this could be a clever move by Jorge Mendes (Ronaldo’s agent).

The transfer window is well underway with some massive signings having already been cleared. Sterling to Chelsea, Haaland to City, and Nunez to Liverpool, but many more signings are said to still be ongoing. The biggest one is Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United. There seems to be a wonky line of communication, but the latest is that Barcelona are adamant to get De Jong off their squad list

On the latest episode of the International News Desk, the latest and greatest transfers get broken down and the future of Cristiano Ronaldo gets discussed. Manchester United’s progress seems to be going well under Erik ten Hag.
