Ben Jacobs has provided an update on Cristiano Ronaldo transfer following Newcastle United links.
Manchester United have terminated the Portugal international’s contract following his breaking interview with Piers Morgan.
Therefore, reports tell that the 37-year-old agent Jorge Mends has been offering the player to several clubs and Eddie Howe’s side are one of those.
Ronaldo is currently a free agent and will be seeking a new destination in the January transfer window.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Howe stated that his side are not interested in the five-time Ballon D’or winner as they have a ‘quite an aging squad’ and need younger players.
“We’re trying to provide long-term growth. At the moment, we have quite an ageing squad… we need to get the average age down, so it might not be a signing we’d necessarily look to make.” insisted Newcastle’s manager.
