Ronaldo Says Ballon d’Or Means Nothing to Him and Refuses to Pick 2025 Winner
Cristiano Ronaldo has made it clear he’s not interested in the Ballon d’Or 2025 discussion, bluntly calling the award “fictional” before walking away from a reporter’s question.
Speaking after scoring a hat-trick in Al-Nassr’s pre-season clash with Rio Ave, the Portuguese star, who has lifted the Ballon d’Or five times, refused to name a favourite for this year’s prize. He said the award holds no real value to him anymore.
Interestingly, back in June, Ronaldo suggested the trophy should go to a player who has won the Champions League, mentioning names like Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappé, Vitinha, and Ousmane Dembélé as worthy contenders.
Manchester United have released a list of players who are expected to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
A statement from the club listed the players as Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Sonny Aljofree, James Bailey, and Malachi Sharpe.
It was noted that Casemiro enjoyed a strong season at the club and built an excellent reputation during his time with the team.
Meanwhile, Tyrell Malacia made 50 first-team appearances for Manchester United during his spell at the club.
Liverpool have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave the club this summer.
The list includes star players Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konaté. While some players are leaving, others have been offered new contracts.
The players who have been offered fresh terms include Kyle Kelly, Afolami Onanuga, Oliver O’Connor, Lucas Pitt, Ben Trueman, Matthew Wright, Prince Cisse, and Keyrol Figueroa.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has urged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Galatasaray.
It can be noted that Lookman recently completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid, and since then, many European clubs have shown interest in the player.
Osimhen then shared an encouraging message to the player, stating that he would be welcome at Galatasaray.
“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
