Before making his debut with the Portugal team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Cristiano Ronaldo decided to take a load off his shoulders and reached an agreement to end his contract with Manchester United.
His second cycle at Old Trafford was not as happy as his first time, in which he shone under the tutelage of Alex Ferguson, won everything and went to Real Madrid. This time he suffered from the lack of confidence of coach Erik ten Hag, in addition to having very tough personal problems, and he got tired of playing little and feeling unappreciated.
Thus, the rumors of the teams that would seek the signing of CR7, in which the interest of MLS teams have sounded, or return to Sporting Lisboa, his first club, have begun.
However, two teams would be the most likely to win the signing of a new contract for the Portugal star. One of the clearest possibilities would be a Premier League team that dreams of entering the Champions League next season; The other option would be to go to a less demanding, exotic league, in which he might play alongside a Colombian.
According to the European press, Cristiano might sign with Newcastle, the nouveau riche in English football, who is already giving people something to talk regarding with his new project; and the other great option is to play for Al-Nassr, from Saudi Arabia; both teams with the same owner: Mohammed Bin Salman, heir to the Saudi throne.
The truth is that Ronaldo will now focus on the World Cup in Qatar to try to make a historic performance; and then, when the winter market opens on January 2, 2023, define where he will play next year.
