365news gathered that Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United has not prompted Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) team Lobi Stars F.C to make any moves to sign him.
Since leaving the Red Devils on Monday and ending his second stint with the team where he achieved football glory under Air Alex Ferguson, the Portuguese forward has attracted attention.
Since last week, when Ronaldo gave a contentious interview to British host Piers Morgan in which he disparaged the team and several icons, he has become a popular figure. Other flaws at Old Trafford were also uncovered by him.
After talks between the parties, United abruptly ended Ronaldo’s uneventful second stint at the red side of Manchester with six months left on his contract. United immediately announced plans to contain the situation after the incident.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is currently without a club, although he has subsequently been linked to other organizations throughout the world, including the 14th-tier English football league team AFC Crewe and the Lobi Stars, who are currently competing in Nigeria’s premier division.
The Nigerian club did not take kindly to the reports linking the Lobi Stars, and as a result, denied the rumors in a statement on its verified Twitter page on Wednesday night.
“LOBI STARS STATEMENT ON CRISTIANO RONALDO LINK
Pls be informed that #WeAreLobi is yet to make any contact with representatives of #CristianoRonaldo following his release from @ManUtd.
We wish him the best & #LobiStars will make no further comment on this,” the statement said.
