French Singer Ignites Social Media with Rumor About Cristiano

Just a few days before the closing of the summer transfer window, French rapper Jul set social media ablaze by announcing his desire for Cristiano Ronaldo to transfer to Olympique Marseille. The well-known rapper, who has 1.8 million followers on Twitter, posted a photoshopped image of Ronaldo wearing a Marseille jersey along with the message "Some hope." The hashtag #LetMeDreamOfRonaldoInMarseille quickly trended on the platform, garnering 30,000 likes in just a few hours. Press speculation surrounds the 37-year-old Ronaldo's potential desire to leave Manchester United to join a team playing in the Champions League, which Marseille will compete in after finishing second in Ligue 1 last season. Marseille is the only French club to have won the UEFA Champions League title back in 1993, and this month, they signed Chilean international Alexis Sánchez.
