Fonte and Ronaldo are teammates in the Portuguese national team. The former also tried to get a commitment at club level.
After the transfer hammer around Lionel Messi, who is now storming for Paris Saint-Germain, the Portuguese international Jose Fonte has, according to his own account, sought contact with Cristiano Ronaldo in order to convince him of a move to Ligue 1.
“I wrote him a message every day and asked him if he would like to come to Lille,” said the 37-year-old national team-mate from CR7 talkSPORT.
Fonte has been the captain of LOSC since 2018 and sensationally won the French championship title with the mastiffs last season. Lille also beat subscription champions PSG.
After speculation about Ronaldo: Juve Vice President Pavel Nedved spoke power
Because the sheikh club has now again upgraded its personnel and, in addition to Messi, also brought in Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum, Sergio Ramos and Achraf Hakimi, the chances of defending Lille’s title are likely to have sunk to a minimum.
Ronaldo even replied to Fonte on one of the messages, said the central defender: “He just wrote: ‘ha, ha, ha’.” There will be no reunification of the two long-standing La Liga rivals in France.
In any case, CR7 is contractually bound to Juventus until 2022. Although there was speculation in the summer that the Portuguese might leave the old lady early and return to Real Madrid, Juves Vice President Pavel Nedved (48) put an end to the rumors at the end of July: “He will stay”.
