Jose Fonte has joked that he is trying everything within his power to get Cristiano Ronaldo to join Lille this summer, in order to take on his nemesis Lionel Messi in Ligue 1.
The football world is still reeling from Paris Saint Germain's move for football legend Messi out of nowhere, and now Fonte has been left fearing for what could be to come.
The former Southampton man became a title winner last season after Lille produced a sublime campaign and wrestled the title away from PSG, despite the Parisians boasting a star-studded squad led by Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
