Cristiano Ronaldo was asked about Angel di Maria’s potential transfer to Benfica

During Al Nassr's pre-season tour in Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo was approached by reporters and asked about the potential transfer of Angel di Maria to Benfica. Although Ronaldo and his team had recently secured victories against Alverica (2-0) on July 11, 2023, and Farense (5-1), the star player did not participate in any of those matches. 

While speaking to the media in Portugal, Ronaldo politely declined to comment on Di Maria's potential move, stating, "If you ask me about Sporting, I will answer you. But I will not comment on other clubs."
