Chapter 445: World Footballer of the Year and the Puskás Award

```

Rumors have it that this winter, Manchester United will finally secure Fran.

As for why they're not snatching up Cristiano Ronaldo...

The UEFA Champions League match against Barcelona was Lisbon Sporting's last for the first half of the season.

In the second half of the season, they have at least four more Champions League games to play.

Both Lisbon Sporting and Cristiano Ronaldo himself treasure each upcoming Champions League match.

So, Ronaldo won't be leaving in the winter window.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to play in the Champions League if he moved to Manchester United, which would be a great loss.

Moreover, heavyweight stars usually transfer only during the summer window.

This is called Face Value.

On December 9, in the 14th round of the Portuguese league,

Lisbon Sporting won against Valsin by two goals.

On December 15, in the 15th round of the Portuguese league,

Lisbon Sporting narrowly defeated Benfica with a score of four to three.
