After Manchester United made a public statement that they had dumped Geraint, known as the 'domestic violence striker', rumor has it that Saudi Arabia's Ittifaq, led by Liverpool legend Sherratt, are preparing to take him under their wing. However, the latest news from The Sun claims that Portuguese soccer superstar Cron could make an extraordinary request to the Saudi league - banning the 21-year-old former Manchester United teammate from seeking a new life there, after Gerlicht once claimed that Cron's soccer career was over after he moved to the Saudi league.
At the end of last year, Cron successfully joined Saudi Arabia's top club Ainas, signing a two-year contract worth up to 350 million pounds (about HK$3.5 billion), a move that made many players envious. However, Glenwood was not impressed, saying publicly in March this year that Cron's joining the Saudi League side meant the end of his soccer career. Sources close to the situation revealed that Cron was extremely angry after learning of this statement. As a result, when Ittifaq are interested in signing Gullenwoodt, the Portuguese international may ask the Saudi League governing body to intervene and stop the deal from happening.
