Next summer has the potential to see the two GOATS of football join forces in Paris. Should the move happen, it would be every fan’s dream! Cristiano Ronaldo could come to PSG after his Juventus contract runs out, which would see him become teammates with longtime rival Lionel Messi.
From Rivals to Teammates?
After an incredible summer that saw Lionel Messi leave Barcelona for French soil, many fans saw the possibility of a legendary partnership. Already, PSG is stacked this season. With Messi, Neymar, Mbappé, Di María, and Ramos to name a few, the club is set for glory this year. The superstars Paris has gathered should be winning just about everything next year. So how does CR7 fit into this scenario?
Ronaldo has reportedly decided to stay with Juve and finish up the final year of his contract with the Italian club. Kylian Mbappé, on the other hand, is in a similar situation in Paris.
The young French forward won’t renew his deal at PSG and will likely leave the club after this season. His longtime desire to play for Real Madrid will probably see him don the white kit after PSG.
How PSG Plan to Bring In Cristiano Ronaldo
Although Ronaldo has chosen to stay with Juventus, he plans on leaving after next year. It’s extremely unlikely that he’ll renew his deal. This is how PSG plans to bring him to France.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi understands that Mbappé won’t renew. As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo has been named as the top target to replace him, according to AS. With Messi having a two-year deal (with an option to sign for a third), this would see the two GOATS join forces.
The Summer of 2022 Will Be Crucial for This PSG Project
Next summer will be the decider on whether this dream scenario plays out or not. With both Ronaldo and Mbappé’s deals running out, this will be how PSG lands CR7 for free and unites him with Messi.
However, it’s important to remember that nothing is set in stone here. A deal may never surface to bring the two legends together. But that doesn’t mean we can’t hope.
Whether you prefer Ronaldo or Messi is irrelevant here. The chance to see them play alongside each other would essentially achieve world peace at this point. Ladies and gentlemen, this would truly be a partnership like no other.
