Cristiano Ronaldo transfer latest as Newcastle United boss has say on ex-Manchester United man

Cristiano Ronaldo could be on the move again in the next few months with the striker reportedly unhappy at Saudi Arabia side Al-Nassr.

The 38-year-old only joined the club a matter of months ago but things have not gone to plan for the former Manchester United striker. And reports have emerged saying the Portugal legend is ready to leave Al-Nassr having struggled to settle. The language barrier and different culture have been referenced as reasons why Ronaldo wants to call time on his career in Saudi Arabia despite signing a contract until 2025.

His preference seems to be for a return to Real Madrid but any move there as a player seems unlikely, with the Spanish giants only prepared to offer Ronaldo a non-playing role as an ambassador. The frontman has also been linked with a move to the Premier League and Newcastle United, along with Brazilian superstar Neymar, but Magpies boss Eddie Howe has rubbished any potential transfer.
