Welsh broadcaster Elis James has advised Wrexham against a move for Cristiano Ronaldo this summer. The Portuguese superstar’s contract with Al-Nassr expires this summer, and he has previously been linked with Wrexham.
The Welsh club recently earned promotion to the Championship and are expected to invest in the squad to eventually push for a place in the Premier League. A move for CR7 could suit their ambition.
However, speaking to William Hill (as cited by GOAL), James insisted that there would be more sensible ways for Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to spend their money.
He continued:
He concluded:
Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly expected to sign a one-year extension with Al-Nassr (via MARCA).
Cristiano Ronaldo has registered 934 goals and 257 assists from 1276 games across competitions in his career so far. He is the only player to have officially surpassed the 900-goal mark in world football.
For context, CR7’s archnemesis Lionel Messi has scored 859 goals, and set up 381 more from 1097 games to date. Ronaldo has scored goals for fun for every club he has represented in his career.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, interestingly, is also the record goalscorer in men’s international football, with 136 goals from 219 games for Portugal to date. He has scored 91 goals and set up 19 more from 102 games across competitions for Al-Nassr so far.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina’s glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
