The pass market may have another historical bombshell. After the signing of Lionel Messi by Inter Miami (which will become official this Sunday, July 16) and the imminent departure of Kylian Mbappé from PSG, now who could join to be the protagonist of this transfer window is none other than Cristiano.
The Portuguese signed for Al-Nassr a few months ago, more precisely after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. CR7 did not have a good stage at Manchester United under the direction of Erik ten Hag and decided to leave the institution of which he knew how to be an idol. Now, shortly after arriving in Saudi Arabia, he could now leave. And it is that FIFA sanctioned his new club for an old debt and they will not be able to make more signings of foreign footballers.
This would lead to Ronaldo seeing his chances of being a champion in the Middle East considerably reduced and now he could join the MLS. As the Mexican journalist Gerardo Velázquez reported days ago, Los Angeles FC wants Cristiano to replace Carlos Vela, whose contract ends in December and it doesn't seem like he's going to renew. Now, this delicate situation of Al-Nassr would bring the Portuguese closer to soccer in the United States, since both he and his partner, Georgina Rodríguez, are attracted to the idea.
Why was Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr sanctioned?
After almost two years and ignoring FIFA's warnings, the highest soccer body decided to punish the Saudi team with three consecutive windows without being able to make transfers. The root of the problem is an amount of 460,000 euros that Al-Nassr never paid Leicester City for Nigerian striker Ahmed Musa, who signed for the institution in 2018.
