French third-tier club Versailles has issued a remarkably blunt response to viral rumors linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a potential move to the team, simply asking "Are you stupid or what?" in their official statement on social media platform X.
The bizarre transfer speculation began when a parody football account suggested that the Portuguese superstar would not be joining Versailles, a club co-owned by Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly. Despite the obviously satirical nature of the original post, the rumor gained significant traction online, prompting the club to address the situation with their candid response.
The 40-year-old Ronaldo, who has recently reached this milestone age, continues to make headlines regarding his future in football. While retirement speculation persistently follows the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, he has expressed his intention to continue playing for several more years.
Recent reports suggest that Ronaldo has already secured his immediate future by agreeing to a contract extension with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr, which would keep him at the club until the summer of 2026, coinciding with the next World Cup finals. Beyond this period, there have been discussions about a potential return to his boyhood club Sporting in Portugal.
The legendary forward, who has boldly proclaimed himself as the greatest player of all time, citing his more 'complete' playing style compared to icons like Lionel Messi and Pele, has set his sights on reaching 1,000 career goals before considering retirement. This ambitious target demonstrates his unwavering commitment to extending his already remarkable career, though it seems clear that achieving this milestone won't be happening at Versailles.
