The Premier League has new rules, and Ronaldo is welcome in Newcastle.
In order to decide whether or not to adopt a prohibition on Premier League clubs borrowing players from teams owned by the same entity, the Premier League organizing committee met with representatives of the clubs yesterday. It is known that just 12/20 teams support the ban, even though rules state that 14 teams must support the ban in order for it to be implemented.
The Times claims that two of the eight teams who disagree with the restriction are Man City, owned by Abu Dhabi owners, and Sheffield United, controlled by Saudi Arabian owners. Chelsea, Newcastle, Wolves, Everton, Burnley, and Nottingham Forest are the other six teams. These organizations frequently utilize “legacy” teams, which serve as a platform for young or reserve players to acquire experience.
Conversely, major teams will be permitted to loan back their top players from the same squad and owner in order to bolster their roster. The most common example is Newcastle, where the Arab Public Investment Fund (PIF) owns 80% of the team’s shares. The four best teams in the Saudi Pro League right now are owned by this person as well.
In other words, Newcastle could theoretically borrow Ronaldo in full to play in January of next year without even having to pay Al Nassr a wage or loan fee.
The Magpies have the ability to target numerous more elite players in addition to CR7, including Sadio Mane, Brozovic, Talisca (Al Nassr), Karim Benzema, Fabinho (Al Ittihad), Neymar, Milinkovic-Savic, Koulibaly, Ruben Neves (Al Hilal), Riyad Mahrez, and Roberto Firmino (Al Ahly). Should things come to pass, Newcastle will have an incredible team.
To replace Andrea Tonali, who was suspended for playing, Newcastle is keen to acquire a player, and at the moment, their most notable target is Ruben Neves. Tonali is valued at 52 million euros. wager. However, the idea of loaning Ronaldo is not a bad one, as Newcastle still lacks a strong striker in their assault. Despite being 38 years old, Ronaldo is still producing a ton of goals for both his club and his country. With 46 goals, he even leads the 2023 scoring list.
