Fans of Borussia Dortmund, the German football club, have launched a funding campaign to secure the signing of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, amid reports of his desire to leave his club. Borussia Dortmund is currently seeking a forward following the departure of their top scorer, Erling Haaland, to Manchester City, and the shocking news of their new player, Ivorian Sebastien Haller, being diagnosed with a malignant tumor in the testicles.
According to "Sport 1," supporters of Borussia Dortmund, known as the "Black and Yellows," have initiated a funding campaign to raise millions to assist the club in signing Ronaldo. The goal of the campaign is to gather around 40 million euros to enable Borussia Dortmund to sign the Portuguese star.
One of the supporting fans wrote: "Dear Bundesliga and Dortmund fans, the unfortunate diagnosis of Sebastien Haller forces Dortmund to raise the storm level." He added, "Given the situation in Manchester, there is a unique opportunity to bring the world's best player, five times, to the Bundesliga."
Some fans of the "Black and Yellows" started joining the campaign this morning, hoping to bring Ronaldo to the Signal Iduna Park before the transfer window closes on September 1. Cristiano Ronaldo, 37 years old, is reportedly seeking a move to a club that competes in the UEFA Champions League this season, which is available at Dortmund.
