Norway earns a lot of money from high gas and energy prices. Paris Saint-Germain with gas money behind them have always bought and paid stars with insane sums of money to reach the goal of the Champions League trophy.
It hasn’t happened so far! – manager of the Parc des Princes now Luis Enrique has a different strategy than his predecessors, it is evident in the club’s response to Cristiano Ronaldo’s approach.
Cristiano Ronaldo ‘rejected’ by shock Champions League club as Man Utd legend ‘desperate’ to return to Europe
Ronaldo’s contract at Al Nassr expires in the summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been rejected by a Champions League club, according to reports, amid claims that he is “desperate” to return to European football.
Ronaldo had two spells in English football with Manchester United between 2003 and 2009, and 2021 to 2022, as well as at Sporting Lisbon, Real Madrid and Juventus.
The 39-year-old has spoken openly about his retirement in recent months, telling beIN Sports: “To plan for retirement, whether it’s in one or two years, I don’t know. I’m turning 40 soon, and as long as I feel motivated, I’ll keep going.”
Ronaldo’s Al Nassr contract runs until this summer, and he told the club’s media outlet that he and his family are “happy” in Saudi Arabia. “The problem is the quality of the league, Ronaldo, who is no longer the best in Portugal’s national team, has to play real football to even be eligible for the 2026 World Cup, which is his ultimate goal and the end of a very impressive career.
To achieve that, there must be a return to Europe!.
Fichajes writes about Ronaldo’s “problem” and mentions that a club has decided not to sign him.
PSG have turned down the chance to sign Ronaldo, with financial reasons cited as the main factor behind their decision not to pursue a transfer
It is claimed that manager Luis Enrique is instead focusing on signing “players with a long-term projection”, a transfer policy that was used throughout the summer to bring in the likes of Desire Doue, Joao Neves and Willian Pacho.
However, a move to PSG would have come as a surprise given the 39-year-old’s recent comments about Ligue 1 compared to the Saudi Pro League.
Speaking at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai last month, he said: “The French league? Of course, [it’s worse than the Saudi Pro League]. Only in France is PSG, the rest is done.
“That’s my opinion. In France, it’s only PSG, sorry. The others are competing, okay. But PSG is the strongest – no one competes with them.
“They have better players. They are the club with more money. This is a fact, and I don’t understand why people are so surprised.”
