Nigerian side Lobi Stars have denied reports linking Cristiano Ronaldo to the club after his release from Manchester United.
Ronaldo’s contract was terminated by Manchester United earlier in the week after the Portuguese interview with journalist Piers Morgans was released. He heavily criticized Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag, and others in the interview.
Reports have indicated that the Makurdi-based side were eyeing the 37-year-old, but the club has denied such links.

“We wish him the best & #LobiStars will make no further comment on this.”
Since Ronaldo’s exit from Manchester United, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has attracted interest from several clubs worldwide.
