Bundesliga number 1 club Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly looking to sign Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.
According to Saudi Arabian journalist Mutab Bin Abdullah, German champions Bayer Leverkusen really want to upgrade their attack in the summer by signing Cristiano Ronaldo. Die Werkself recently won their first ever Bundesliga title. They will want to have a strong transfer window to strengthen their position next season.
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the players who is in very good form and is currently on the radar of Bayer Leverkusen. According to the above source, coach Xabi Alonso has urged the club’s board of directors to sign superstar Al Nassr in the upcoming transfer window.
The Saudi Arabian journalist tweeted the following regarding Bayer Leverkusen’s interest in Ronaldo:
“German club Bayer Leverkusen, on the recommendation of coach Alonso, wants to sign the best player in the world at Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo”.
Although Ronaldo turned 39 earlier this year, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner still has a lot of motivation to devote to football. This is evident in his current form in Saudi Arabia, where the player has scored 41 goals and provided 12 assists in 40 matches in all competitions. At the present time, he has scored 4 hat-tricks in the Saudi Pro League and is currently the top scorer in the tournament with 32 goals.
The Portuguese captain will have a lot to offer Bayer Leverkusen if he joins the German club in the summer. CR7 is the UEFA Champions League top scorer with 140 goals. He could be a great help to Leverkusen as they look to reach the knockout stages for the first time since 2017.
However, it is worth mentioning that Xabi Alonso has a number of reliable goalscorers in his squad. Victor Boniface, 23, is their top scorer this season, with 19 goals in all competitions. Patrik Schick has also scored 12 goals so far.
