Like every day, or almost, a new path for Cristiano Ronaldo emerges. If the Portuguese striker is linked with Manchester United until 2023 (plus an optional year), he would like to leave the club this summer, according to several English media outlets. The player returned to the Red Devils in 2021 after the end of his adventure with Juventus, but he did not appreciate the course of last season, which ended in sixth place and without qualifying for the next Champions League. The competition you want the Ballon d’Or five times to compete in each year.
No to Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea
So his agent Jorge Mendes is busy finding a new challenge for him. According to information from the Parisian, Ronaldo was specially offered to Paris Saint-Germain. But the French club, wishing to return to a more sedate and less “bling” recruit, ruled out this possibility. The door is also locked on the Chelsea side. The new owner, Todd Boehly, has expressed interest in the prospect of welcoming the CR7 after a discussion with his agent. But coach Thomas Tuchel would have used his veto and the decision was made not to pursue this path.
According to some sources that appeared yesterday, a Saudi club would have offered a golden bridge to the player with a crazy salary of 275 million euros over two years. A check rejected by the former Sporting player. Despite these setbacks, some clubs are said to remain vigilant to put in place one of the world’s best players. This morning, ESPN announced that Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid are “still in the race” to try and sign Ronaldo.
The saga continues…
