Newcastle supervisor Eddie Howe has responded to a suggestion that Newcastle might are available for Cristiano Ronaldo.
With Newcastle’s Saudi takeover final yr, they could possibly be one of many few groups who would have the ability to afford Ronaldo’s possible astronomical wages.
Spending a major price on signing Ronaldo wouldn’t be a sensible transfer for any membership, contemplating his age, and it is a key cause as to why Howe believes it wouldn’t be a signing Newcastle will go for.
“We have to get the typical age down, so it may not be a signing [Ronaldo] that we might essentially look to make – however not under-estimating the standard of the participant,” mentioned Howe, as relayed by The Mirror.
No person can doubt the standard of Ronaldo, however his skill has definitely declined within the final 12 months. At 37 years outdated, the monumental funding that it will take to convey him to the membership in all probability isn’t price it.
The industrial facet of the deal would after all be an attraction for Newcastle, however their current recruitment, it’s been closely centered on enhancing the group for the long run reasonably than a industrial transfer.
After a disappointing begin to the season, it’s tough to see Ronaldo enjoying in a high league when his contract at Manchester United expires subsequent summer season.
