In a plot twist worthy of a Shakespearean comedy—or a Netflix docuseries—Cristiano Ronaldo is indirectly helping Liverpool land their top target, Alexander Isak. And no, you haven’t woken up in an alternate universe where pigs fly and Steven Gerrard manages Manchester United. Ronaldo’s monster contract extension with Al Nassr has cooled their interest in Darwin Nunez, giving Al Hilal the space to swoop in. That Nunez sale? It’s the final puzzle piece Liverpool needs to unleash a £300 million transfer masterstroke.
Ronaldo’s Ripple Effect Hits Nunez, Spurs Isak Chase
Here’s how the dominoes fall: Ronaldo re-signs with Al Nassr for, oh, just half a billion pounds. Al Nassr backs off Darwin Nunez like he’s yesterday’s crypto stock. Enter Al Hilal, stage right, waving cash and promises. Nunez, happy to play under Simone Inzaghi and escape the Anfield bench, is reportedly all in. And with his sale, Liverpool clears the path—and the budget—for Isak.
How Ronaldo Could Trigger Liverpool’s Most Expensive Window Ever
If Isak does join, it pushes Liverpool’s summer spend over the £300 million mark, thanks to previous coups like Wirtz and Ekitike. But it’s not just about numbers—it’s about Klopp’s successor, Arne Slot, sculpting a squad that moves like jazz and hits like rock. Isak, with his electric pace and clinical finish, could be the missing piece. And somewhere in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo might be smiling… or counting zeros.
CR7’s Role in This May Be Accidental, But It’s Priceless
For Liverpool fans, it’s poetic justice: the man once cheered by Old Trafford fans might now be fueling Anfield’s next attacking era. Ronaldo may never walk alone—but this time, it’s helping the Reds walk ahead. So here’s to Ronaldo—unknowingly donning Liverpool red in spirit—because sometimes, football’s strangest assists come from the most unexpected boots.
