Despite all the dismissals from the English side of things, other media outlets around the world are adamant that Newcastle United have made a move for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Currently at the World Cup following his release from Manchester United, the Portuguese star will be focused on going as far in the competition before thinking about his club future.
However, when that time comes, it appears he will have an offer from Newcastle to consider, something which Gazzetta dello Sport have already talked about.
In fact, they claimed he was already analysing it, although how true that is remains to be seen, but the idea that he has said approach from the Magpies is reiterated by journalist Xavier Jacobelli.
He told TMW Radio, relayed by FC Inter 1908: “Ronaldo won’t be free for long. I think he can find a team as early as January 2nd. On the one hand, he has an important offer from Newcastle, a club owned by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund that wants a big media hit and could also make an operation to then take him to Saudi Arabia int he following years.
Returning to England with the Red Devils after forcing an exit from Juventus late in the summer of 2021, Ronaldo’s second spell with his former club didn’t go to plan.
He never really fitted in Erik ten Hag’s plans, who limited him to 16 appearances during the first half of the season, during which he scored three goals and assisted two.
Whether Newcastle do come forward is a question mark right now, and it could also come down to whether Eddie Howe wants him, which seems highly unlikely considering how well his team are doing and how united they all are.
