Cristiano Ronaldo's performance might be taking a fall with him reaching the twilight phase of his career. Meanwhile, as reports about leaked FIFA 23 attributes suggest, the Portuguese has taken a massive fall.
Portuguese sensation and Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo has long been linked to an Old Trafford exit. He made his epic return to the club last season and finished as the club's highest goal-scorer for the season. However, with the Red Devils failing to seal the UEFA Champions League (UCL) berth, Ronnie has reportedly insisted that he moves to a UCL-playing club. Nevertheless, he has failed to attract suitable buyers, considering he is 37 and is no longer in his prime. Also, for the same, his attributes have reportedly taken a hit if EA Sports' FIFA 23 leaks are to be considered.
According to GamesRadar, many English Premier League (EPL) teams and their player ratings have been leaked. Ronaldo has got a pretty substantial rating this time around. While he had a rating of 87 in FIFA 22 for his pace, it has taken a six-rating fall, as he is now attributed 81.
However, Ronaldo's overall rating has not changed significantly, as he is still rated 90, which is less than FIFA 22. Regardless, if he has to make it to the FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, he would still cost huge bucks, but somewhat cheaper than the last edition. He had hammered 24 goals in 38 matches for United across tournaments last season, which is his lowest in the previous 15 seasons.
In comparison, French striker Kylian Mbappe of French champion Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will feature on the cover of FIFA 23. He would remain the highest-rated player in the game and remains unchanged in terms of his rating from the last time, which is 91. FIFA 23 would release on September 27 across platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch, while it will be EA's final football game under the FIFA banner.
