Is Ronaldo Transferring?
It appears that until the deadline day, Cristiano Ronaldo and his future in club football will continue to dominate headlines. Ronaldo has reportedly asked to quit Manchester United after the Red Devils failed to finish in the top four, according to numerous reports. The Portuguese legend, who is nearing the conclusion of his career, is yet determined to compete for continental success.
As a result, there aren’t many possibilities for great strikers in the market, which has caused Manchester United’s transfer plans to fall apart. This incident does resemble the one from the previous year when Ronaldo while declaring that he didn’t want to leave Turin, signed a transfer agreement with Manchester United by leaving Juventus four days before the transfer window closed.
Several stories during the previous week suggested that Atletico Madrid might be Ronaldo’s ultimate destination. But given that Ronaldo’s wage demands create a big barrier, such a move looked extremely unexpected. According to a report in the Spanish magazine AS the Rojiblancos must first fund at least €40 million (£34.1 million) in order to sign new players and provide space for an offensive strategy.
According to a different report from the Spanish radio station Cope, agent Jorge Mendes met with Miguel Angel Gil Marin, the CEO of Atletico Madrid, to discuss a prospective transfer, but the discussions fell apart over money. Ronaldo had previously been connected to PSG, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and even Chelsea in addition to this one. Due to financial difficulties, none of them materialized, and it appears that CR7 and his agent Jorge Mendes are out of choices.
Ronaldo’s son seen wearing a Real Madrid Jersey
But after photographing Ronaldo’s youngest son Mateo wearing a Real Madrid uniform, tabloids stoked rumours once more, and now there are rampant rumours that Ronaldo would make a spectacular return to the Santiago Bernabeu rather than Atletico’s Wanda Metropolitano.
Last season, Ronaldo scored 24 goals in 38 games across all competitions, including 18 in the Premier League. Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has stated his wish to keep the attacker this summer and maintains that he is a vital member of the team. The real query is, will he? What happens next will only become clear with time.
The 37-year-old has previously said that he misses Madrid more than Manchester and has frequently voiced his love for Real Madrid. While still a member of the Juventus team, he remarked in 2019: “Madrid is a city that marked me a lot, not just on football, but also on a personal level. I was marked by the club. I have a very unique fondness for Madrid because I spent nine years playing for Real Madrid.
“I mourn them both, but Madrid is where I spent most of my time; my girl and my children were reared here. More than Manchester, I miss Madrid,” he concluded.
In the summer of 2018, Ronaldo abruptly left Real for Juventus for a reported £99 million. After spending three years with the Italian team but failing to guide them to Champions League success, he left last summer to complete an emotional comeback with the Red Devils.
In his first season back at Old Trafford, he scored 24 goals. Still, while having a successful season personally, he suffered along with his teammates as United struggled to a sixth-place finish under Ralf Rangnick. The latter took over for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the middle of the season.
Ronaldo will remain where he is, according to the new manager Erik ten Hag. He remarked, “I am aware that he also has a choice, eh? Although I have a three-year contract here, it’s also short-term in football, so yes, he may stay past this season. We must succeed right away. I, therefore, don’t anticipate that far.
“I have a plan, it takes time, it’s a process, but in the end, we have to make sure there is a winning team from the beginning.”
