While club football is slowly starting again after the end of the World Cup, unemployed Cristiano Ronaldo is currently busy finding a new employer. The Portuguese left Manchester United after a sensational interview and is keeping his fitness up at Real Madrid. In Germany, the arrival of the five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or has been rejected.
“He was even offered to us,” Eintracht Frankfurt board member Axel Hellmann told DAZN in a candid interview. However, the winner of the Europa League did not like the arrival of Ronaldo. Certainly not, because Ronaldo is not very picky.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s snub
According to the Frankfurt management, Ronaldo has only one wish for the second half of the season. The 37-year-old veteran wants to play in the Champions League. “I feel that he has been offered to every club that is still active in the Champions League,” Hellmann added.
After all It seems that Cristiano Ronaldo is actually going to work in Saudi Arabia. Spanish sources report that a seven-year deal with Al-Nassr and the country itself will soon be signed.
Marca knows the details of the deal that will be finalized soon. Ronaldo will earn about two hundred million euros a year, which is consistent with the reports that came out earlier. How the Portuguese will earn that mega amount will change during the term of his contract.
The almost 38-year-old attacker will continue as a footballer for more than two years, but will become ambassador of Saudi Arabia’s World Cup bid after his contract with Al-Nassr expires. The country hopes to host the World Cup in 2030 and has entered into a partnership with Egypt and Greece for this purpose.
Ronaldo’s contract with Manchester United was terminated during the last World Cup, so that he can look for a new club as a transfer-free player. The search of the multiple Ballon d’Or winner is not going smoothly, the Eintracht Frankfurt club management concluded. “I feel that he has been offered to every club that is still active in the Champions League.” Meanwhile, Ronaldo keeps his fitness up at Real Madrid.
