The most anticipated move after the World Cup will no doubt be that of football icon Cristiano Ronaldo following his contract termination with Manchester United. It means he is free to join any team even before the transfer window opens in January.
Although he is focused on helping Portugal end the world cup on a high, the 37 year old is said to be mulling over an offer from Saudi Arabia side Al Nassr. The deal will reportedly see him earn in excess of $200 million in a year.
It will be the second time, they will be splashing big on a star player after the World Cup if the deal happens as four years ago, they successfully signed Ahmed Musa from Leicester City. His stay at the club can’t be termed as successful.
Musa ended up terminating his contract two years ago but he still occupies a place in the minds of close followers of the team and with Ronaldo’s impending transfer, which is widely speculated as a possibility. His name has once again hit the news.
” Musa was the first star we had in shirt number 7. I think Ronaldo will wear it when he comes. The news is e everywhere and it will be a big coup for football in Saudi Arabia. He will wear the 7 shirt like Musa if he comes here and we hope he makes a bigger impact than the Nigerian. Musa wasn’t settled at All Nassr”, Nazir Mohammed, a young journalist in Saudi Arabia told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
