'If he could' - Cristiano Ronaldo to Liverpool claim made as transfer rumours continue

Gabby Agbonlahor has insisted that Cristiano Ronaldo would play for Liverpool 'if he could', declaring that the forward has no loyalties to his current club.

The 37-year-old is still yet to feature under new Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, adding to a growing opinion that the striker will leave Old Trafford this summer.

Ronaldo returned to the Premier League last August and helped his side reach the Champions League Round of 16 as well as finding the net 24 times in 38 appearances.

However, with the former Real Madrid man's future current up in the air, pundit Agbonlahor has insisted how he could see Ronaldo make the switch to Merseyside, despite the fierce rivalry between the two clubs.

''To be honest, I think Cristiano Ronaldo would join Liverpool this summer if he could, big rivals of Manchester United,'' the 35-year-old told TalkSport on Thursday morning.

“It’s about Ronaldo, he will go anywhere he can still play Champions League, get Champions League records and win titles.

“I don’t think Ronaldo has any loyalties to Manchester United or Real Madrid or Juventus.”

With Jurgen Klopp publicly stating the Reds are finished in terms of summer business, we cannot expect to see the former Sporting man turning out at Anfield any time soon, as preparations edge towards the 22/23 campaign.
