[마이데일리 = 김종국 기자] Although Ronaldo joined Al Nasr (Saudi Arabia), he showed his unchanging will to play on the European stage.
British media Football 365 reported on the 7th (Korean time) that ‘Ronaldo has a contract clause that is advantageous to him. One of the many favorable terms is that if Ronaldo receives an offer, he will be able to leave early this year.’
The media said, “Ronaldo has a contract with Al Nasr until 2025, but there is a contract termination clause in favor of Ronaldo.” I can leave,’ he said. Also, ‘If Newcastle United compete in the Champions League, the transfer rumor that Ronaldo will join Newcastle United is false. “I wonder if Newcastle United will want to sign the 38-year-old Ronaldo.”
On the 4th, Ronaldo joined the new team by holding an initiation ceremony for Al Nasr. Prior to this, Spain’s Marca said, “If Newcastle United participates in the UEFA Champions League next season, Ronaldo will be loaned to Newcastle United.” Regarding this, Newcastle United manager Howe himself denied rumors about the signing of Ronaldo.
Ronaldo has shown a strong desire to continue his career in the UEFA Champions League. Ronaldo has scored 145 goals in 197 appearances in his personal career in the UEFA Champions League, surpassing Messi to hold the record for the most goals scored by an individual. Ronaldo contacted various clubs such as Atletico Madrid (Spain), Frankfurt (Germany), Napoli (Italy), and Chelsea (England) from the summer transfer window last year, but could not find a club that wanted to sign him.
Ronaldo joined Al Nasr but did not register as a player. Al-Nasr already has eight foreign players, while Saudi Arabia’s professional league allows teams to have up to eight foreign players. Al Nasr is in a situation where he has to send one of the existing foreign players to register Ronaldo as a player.
Al Nasr played his first official match against Al Tai on the 7th after joining Ronaldo. Ronaldo, who was not registered as a player for Al Nasr, did not play in the match, watching the match against Al Tai from the VIP seats and locker room. Al Nasr will face Al Shabab, who is competing for the lead in the league, on the 15th, but it is still unclear whether Ronaldo will participate.
