Five potential replacements for Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portugal national team after Euro 2024 will be discussed in this article. As is known, CR7 – Cristiano Ronaldo’s nickname, has said that Euro 2024 will be his last match at the event with Selecao das Quinas.
Unfortunately, Portugal had to stop in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 after losing to France. The following are five potential replacements for Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portugal national team after Euro 2024
5. Goncalo Ramos
First, there is the name Goncalo Ramos, who still hasn’t got many minutes playing with Portugal at Euro 2024 this time. He only appeared once when Selecao das Quinas lost 2-3 to Georgia in the group stage.
Goncalo Ramos could be a coaching option on Portugal’s front line after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. The PSG player proved to be playing well by scoring a hat trick when Portugal beat Switzerland 6-1 in the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup.
4. André Silva
Another name that could also be an option for the coach on the front lines of the Portuguese national team is Andre Silva. Unfortunately, the former AC Milan player still hasn’t rediscovered his best game on the field.
Andre Silva is still having difficulty getting minutes of playing time with the Portuguese national team. He wasn’t even brought to strengthen the team at Euro 2024 this time.
3. Diogo Jota
Next there is the name Diogo Jota. It is believed that this Liverpool player can also replace Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portugal national team after the Euro 2024 event.
This versatile player is very capable of playing the role of ‘false nine’. Diogo Jota himself appeared three times with Portugal at Euro 2024 this time.
2. Joao Felix
Joao Felix also deserves to be compared to these names as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portuguese national team. The player who has just finished his loan spell at Barcelona just needs to rediscover his best game.
Joao Felix is included in the Portugal national team squad at Euro 2024 this time. Unfortunately, he failed to take Portugal further after losing to France on penalties in the last 8.
1. Rafael Leao
Finally, there is the name Rafael Leao, who also has the potential to replace Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portuguese national team. This AC Milan winger has proven his quality in the last few seasons.
Leao also won the coach’s trust to appear at Euro 2024. He even only missed one match against Georgia due to accumulated yellow cards.
