Cristiano Ronaldo does not interest PSG, and the Portuguese now officially knows it after the exit of president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. The World Cup in Qatar will not have restored the image of CR7.
More than 10 years ago, when Nasser Al-Khelaïfi set foot in Paris Saint-Germain for the first time, he made no secret of the fact that he dreamed of playing with players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. At the time, this had made people smile a lot, as the club in the French capital did not make people dream so much. But with time and financial means, PSG are now part of Europe’s gratin, even if they still lack a prestigious Champions League victory. And on top of that, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has managed to integrate three of the best players in the world into his team, with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.
Neymar, Mbappé and Messi yes, Cristiano Ronaldo no
Therefore, there is no more room for Cristiano Ronaldo. This is the observation made by the president of PSG in an interview with Sky Italia, where he explained that despite the opportunity to sign CR7 for free due to the breach of his contract with Manchester United, he politely declined. “ Cristiano Ronaldo at PSG? With the three players we have (MNM) it is very difficult but I wish him the best. He’s great and he’s still a great player.” emphasized the Qatari leader, who is currently watching the Portuguese star closely as he follows the World Cup in the heart of his country.
However, like what is happening with Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo no longer really has the honors since he started the round of 16 against Switzerland as a substitute and the holder, Gonçalo Ramos, took the opportunity to score a hat-trick. The result is that it is currently an angry Cristiano Ronaldo, who refused to celebrate the victory with the supporters who are hooting in Qatar. At a time when Manchester United made him experience the same situation, the question of his place at PSG really deserves to be asked. Not only for the dressing room, where he may find it difficult to agree to hand over the star to the three superstars already in place, but also on the sporting level, where he makes far less of a difference.

So, despite the flash of such a rookie, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi decided to choose wisdom by rejecting the idea of signing Cristiano Ronaldo at PSG. The Portuguese striker, who is focusing on the end of his World Cup, currently has only one offer in his hands, namely the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. Very juicy financially, but very far from his ambitions to still score and lift the Champions League in his career.
