Simon Jordan has claimed he heard that Cristiano Ronaldo could join Newcastle United in January.
The five-time Ballon D'or winner parted ways with Manchester United in a mutual agreement following his recent explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
Therefore, multiple sources confirmed that the player's agent Jorge Mendes has offered the 37-year-old, who is a free agent right now, to several clubs including Premier League side Newcastle.
However, Eddie Howe stated that he is in seek of younger players to make his squad fresher but Jordan believes St James' Park would be the Portuguese superstar's next destination.
Speaking to talkSPORT quoted by HITC, the former Crystal Palace chairman has claimed:
“I heard a funny little rumour doing the rounds amongst the group of talking heads that may have some understanding of these things. And they were exploring the dynamics of this alleged Saudi Arabia deal (£306 million offer for two seasons).”
“It was a little thought-through nod and a wink that they knew what they’re talking about. He’d [Ronaldo] go into Newcastle and then find himself in Saudi.”
“But I think there is a discussion that could possibly find itself in the world of landing [Cristiano] Ronaldo in Newcastle.”
