I want to enter at the highest level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joshua\u2019s profile, especially in the Middle East, is already opening doors. He has spoken with five-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner Ronaldo on multiple occasions in Saudi Arabia, as CR7 turns out in that region for Al-Nassr, with it being that standard of player that is being targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearn added, \u201cAJ can speak to any player he wants. One of the biggest challenges agencies face when recruiting players is simply getting in front of them. AJ can get in front of any player in the world tomorrow. In fact, players are already speaking to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s had discussions. They know what we do. How good Matchroom is, and they know the power AJ has. AJ\u2019s post certainly pricked up a few ears from those big names. A lot of people are interested already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRonaldo didn\u2019t DM me, but let\u2019s just say a few eye emojis popped up. Quite a few high-profile players sent them. They weren\u2019t saying they were signing with us tomorrow, but they were definitely showing interest. There are conversations to be had, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no confirmed launch date, but the duo are preparing to disrupt football management just as they have in boxing and darts. <a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/joshua-eyes-ronaldo-signing-with-new-football-agency\/\">(Punch)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthony Joshua\u00a0and boxing promoter Eddie Hearn are building a new football agency, with the ambitious goal of attracting top-tier players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
