“But I won’t call him!” - Barcelona star reveals Cristiano Ronaldo is the most famous person in his phone contacts list

Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has named Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo as the most famous contact on his phone in an interview. The erstwhile Poland international is in his second season with La Blaugrana, having reversed his retirement decision to join them.

In a chat with the club's media team, veteran shot-stopper Szczesny answered a question on who the most famous person on his phone's contact list is. He responded with Cristiano Ronaldo's name before stating that he does not plan on calling the 40-year-old.

"Most famous person in my contact? Cristiano Ronaldo, but I won't call him! (laughs) Just proving he's in my phone. Don't worry, we won't call", he said (via @BarcaTimes on X).

The paths of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wojciech Szczesny crossed while they played for Italian giants Juventus between 2018 and 2021. They almost became teammates once more in the summer of 2024 as Al-Nassr sought to sign the former Arsenal goalkeeper but failed to agree a deal with Juventus. The 35-year-old decided to retire afterwards before re-emerging in the colours of Barcelona a few months later.

Signed to serve as a back-up option, Szczesny has been thrust into the line of fire for the second time in as many seasons with the Spanish giants. The experienced goalkeeper has started regularly for Barcelona since Joan Garcia suffered a knee injury in September, and could yet remain in goal until next month.

Cristiano Ronaldo set for second exclusive interview with Piers Morgan

Cristiano Ronaldo is set for a second exclusive interview with media personality Piers Morgan, three years after the first one in 2022. The Portugal international has hinted at the occurrence of the interview with a post on X, with Morgan confirming the interview.

Ronaldo's original interview with Morgan in the build-up to the FIFA World Cup in Qatar sent shockwaves throughout the football world. He spoke about various topics, particularly the state of affairs at Manchester United. The revelations made by the then-United star about the Premier League giants prompted both parties to choose to terminate his contract and go their separate ways.

Piers Morgan has revealed that the interview is a no holds barred exclusive with the Al-Nassr star, whose move to Saudi Arabia came after the previous one. The interview is set to air in the first week of November and will provide insights into the personal life of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
