Since the controversial statements made by Cristiano Ronaldo about his stay with Manchester United, the Portuguese star's football situation has changed too much, especially when there was talk just a few days ago of a very possible arrival on Merseyside once the World Cup in Qatar will end on 18 November, but now, the course of CR7 seems to have taken another direction and the Middle East aims to be his new destination.

After the strong rumour of Ronaldo's arrival at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia emerged a few hours ago, the reactions at Anfield were not long in coming. While Jurgen Klopp was surely upset to continue with this negative streak in the transfer markets, some players like Mohamed Salah were surely surprised with the Portuguese's decision, as it is difficult to think that CR7 would not prefer the Premier League and Liverpool to emigrate to another less competitive destination.

It was not news that Cristiano would be coveted by several teams in Europe once his departure from Manchester United was announced, as his value was to some extent affordable and his qualities on the pitch still profitable, several clubs were candidates to have him in their ranks for the winter. Although the Reds seemed to have the upper hand in all respects, in the end the money seemed to overcome all barriers, as the Saudi side beat the English side to the punch by offering the Portuguese a fee of 200 million euros per year.

From Merseyside, several Liverpool players were already thinking about having the Portuguese striker in their ranks very soon, analysing elements such as Mohamed Salah how their next game plan would be, with which Ronaldo fits perfectly. Now that the transfer has almost completely fallen through, the Egyptian's hopes have completely collapsed, leaving him with the frustration of not having been able to play alongside an active legend.

With Liverpool having been left without this international figure among its ranks, Jurgen Klopp's planning regarding the team will not have many changes in the coming months, with the German tactician continuing to bet on these changes in midfield until the transfer of Jude Bellingham can be finalised, with the attacking sector depending on what Darwin Núñez, Roberto Firmino and the Egyptian jewel, Mohamed Salah, do.
