Reads like he hasn't got anything agreed with another club - seems very odd given how insistent he was to nuke relations with United if he didn't have a deal set-up to go to.
He definitely doesn't - I think he and Mendes were banking on the fact that he's a free agent someone in Europe would at least try him. "Hey, it's a free deal. And he's fecking Ronaldo, it can't go that bad, can it?" Unfortunately for them, no CL club in Europe seems stupid enough to go for it.
He’ll be absolutely insane to turn that downHe's set for life. Even if he quits football, the amount of sponsorships he is swimming and potential deals is billions. 200M is really nothing to him. Only reason I can see him doing it is to fuel his ego "look, i'm the highest paid athlete in the world" type of thing.200M per season
Just take the money and have fun in Saudi for just two years, Cristiano
We can celebrate what he has previously done for the club but why the feck would I celebrate him currently when he slagged off the manager, ex manager, the club and former team mates. Nor can you ignore him mixing with unsavoury individuals such as Jordan Peterson and Piers Morgan. This is a 37 year old individual who has been pandered to throughout his career and now cannot accept the inevitable decline due to age.
'fight for CL'. He wants to join a club who can win the CL is how I read that. Who the feck is going to sign him in that category and give an 37 year old excessive wages.
Can’t imagine Real Madrid wanting to go near him.
People will generally say that, and that Perez won't want him, but if they can do a 6 month deal then they'll just get the honeymoon period and "the homecoming" - all the initial interest from sponsors, TV etc and will then let him go off in the summer, possibly with a final CL medal, before the toxic shit kicks in. And aren't they light up front with injuries?
He would make Real worse immediately. There wouldn't be a honeymoon.
Benzema is out but will be back soon. Aside from that, they are fine so don't think they would excessive wages for a past it 37 year old despite how much sponsorship he brings in.
And what happens when any of those injured players return and he needs to be benched for tactical reasons? They would be mad to sign him. He has shown zero ability to play as a sub happily. The WC experience has further proved this...
This is what was so baffling about it? (Well, one of them...) he literally went on TV and said “I’ll never respect a manger who ever benches me, I won’t press and generally won’t play tactics I don’t agree with, and I’ll throw everyone at your club under the bus if I’m not playing well…. Anyway, please come and sign me big important teams!”
Not gonna happen. As it stands, both United and Portugal seem to be playing better without him. So I don't think Real will be interested in a 6 month punt.
He probably believed that he will have a good WC because United were holding him back.

Nobody to blame but Ronaldo for that.
That won't stop the media from speculating, we've been linked with CR7 for years now even though we've never had any actual interest in him beyond some emir's wet dream somewhere in Qatar. I just can't see any single CL club willing to take on this toxic has-been.
‘Fun in Saudi’? Are you serious?! Live in Dubai and fly in for the games I reckon.200M per season

They are silently queueing up for his services.
MBS: "Your signature or your limbs?"
he'll salvage some reputation if he does that, even if the move ends up as a footballing failure.
