On Thursday, a rumor sent shockwaves through Ligue 1, specifically concerning Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Some sources claimed that the capital club was in negotiations with Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently playing in Saudi Arabia for Al-Nassr. However, it seems that this is not the case, as the French champions are reportedly not interested in the Portuguese star and are instead preparing for two outgoing transfers.
The end of an era is upon us. At ages 37 and 39, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are, without a doubt, much closer to the end of their careers than the beginning. The two attackers have only a few seasons left, and soon the world will bid farewell to their extraordinary talents. Nonetheless, there is a possibility that followers of French football could witness the Portuguese maestro in action one last time before retirement.
After Lionel Messi’s departure, PSG might be looking to bring in another footballing legend. According to journalist Pedro Almeida, the Paris club is currently engaged in discussions with Cristiano Ronaldo regarding a potential transfer. If this materializes, PSG could be the only team in the world to have featured both the Argentine and the Portuguese superstars in succession.
However, it appears that the rumor surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo may remain just that—a rumor. According to information from RMC Sport, PSG is reportedly not interested in the Portuguese forward at all, as they have other matters to attend to. The Parisian leadership is currently focused on player departures. Two players are favored to leave Paris in the coming weeks: Milan Skriniar and Randal Kolo Muani. In addition to these potential exits, PSG is also looking to strengthen their squad. Luis Campos is seeking a forward to provide Luis Enrique, but it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo does not fit into the club’s new project.
