Real Madrid talisman Cristiano Ronaldo will be back in Manchester to hold talks with the club regarding his future. After missing the preseason tour of Thailand and Australia, reports have indicated that the Portuguese star could be on the move. While he turned down a move to Saudi Arabia, which included a $30 million wage package, he has been linked with a return to Manchester United.
Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United is a positive sign
The news of Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United is welcomed by some fans but it’s not all that encouraging. After two and a half years as manager of the club, Solskjaer remains unconvincing, and his recruitment of Ronaldo appeals to the nostalgic side of United fans. But it makes little sense from a football perspective. In this article, we will explore some of the arguments in favor of Ronaldo’s return to the Red Devils.
One reason to welcome Ronaldo to Old Trafford is his commercial potential. He has already helped the club’s shirt sales in the past. The club already pays Adidas a licence fee to reproduce the famous red shirt. The Ronaldo effect should enable United to push the price of the deal with Adidas higher, which will boost United’s business operations. According to a report by a British newspaper, the Portuguese star could earn an extra PS30 million over the next two years in commercial arrangements.
The Portuguese winger’s decision to return to United is viewed as a positive sign by club insiders. Ronaldo’s departure from United in the summer was controversial, and he owes it to former manager Alex Ferguson to be part of the club’s history. He has also been in touch with the team’s Portuguese midfielder, Bruno Fernandes.
Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid have been in contact with Ronaldo
In the last week, reports have emerged that Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Atleico have been in contact with the Portugal international about his future. While it’s possible that he will stay at Old Trafford for another season, a move to the Spanish capital would not be easy. The Premier League club, with its high wage bill, is unlikely to attract Ronaldo, who can command up to PS500,000 a week.
While many European clubs have distanced themselves from the Portuguese international, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have yet to publicly state whether they are interested in signing Ronaldo. Chelsea have ruled themselves out of the equation, while Mendes has talked to Thomas Tuchel. Paris Saint-Germain have also rejected the idea of signing Ronaldo. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have not made any official contact with Ronaldo, despite several attempts.
However, the Portuguese star has been linked with several other European clubs, and it is believed that he would rather leave Manchester United to play Champions League football. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Atletico are all keen to sign him, although Atletico would have to sell Antoine Griezmann to free up wage costs. But he may stay at Old Trafford and hope for a return to the Champions League.
Atletico Madrid is a potential destination for Ronaldo
Atletico Madrid have been rumoured as a potential destination for Cristiano Ronaldo. However, the Spanish giants cannot afford to sign the Portugal international because he would cost them over PS480,000 a week. This would mean that Simeone would have to sell one of his top players to make room for Ronaldo. The club has already signed five strikers so it would be difficult for Simeone to make room for Ronaldo.
Atletico have recently contacted Ronaldo about a possible transfer. Diego Simeone has persuaded the Portuguese superstar to pursue a move to the Spanish club. Meanwhile, Manchester United have said they are not interested in selling Ronaldo, and Chelsea have pulled out of a summer transfer attempt. Atletico’s president has hinted that a bid from Atletico Madrid is unlikely.
According to reports, the Real Madrid star is considering a move away from Manchester United and has expressed his desire to join Atletico. The Spanish club has a strong fan base and has been linked with Ronaldo for some time now. The club’s ardent supporters have also been a strong factor in the Portuguese player’s decision. The Portuguese has reportedly rejected offers from Chelsea and Bayern Munich. The rumours of a potential move away from United have also sparked speculations about the future of the Portuguese international.
Paulo Dybala is a free agent after his contract expired at Juventus
Juve are keen to keep hold of Dybala, who has been out of contract for almost a year, but have failed to tie him down with a new deal. Juve were keen to shorten the contract and cut down on the fixed portion of the salary, which upset Dybala. The striker has since changed his mind, and will now be free to join any team.
According to reports, Dybala’s contract is up at the end of the season and is expected to join Inter Milan. Manchester United, Chelsea, Napoli, and Inter Milan are among the clubs interested in signing the Argentine. Dybala, who joined Juventus from Palermo in 2015, signed a three-year contract with Roma, worth a reported PS5 million per season. He scored 80 league goals during his time with Juventus, but sometimes found himself out of sync with the new manager and tactical changes.
According to reports, Dybala is meeting with the Juventus board on Monday and it has been reported that he has declined to sign a new deal. The club’s vice president Pavel Nedved revealed that the two parties failed to agree on a new contract, so Dybala will become a free agent at the end of the season. Various European clubs are interested in signing Dybala, but the striker will not commit himself to any new deal.
Atletico Madrid has made a bid for Ronaldo
Atletico Madrid have made a bid for Cristiano Ronaldo, according to reports in Spain. Despite the high price tag, Ronaldo is considered one of the best players of modern soccer and is likely to accept a move to a major European powerhouse. The club are also eager to get Griezmann off their books, having squandered his chance to win the Champions League at the Camp Nou last year.
Manchester United have been warned off from pursuing Ajax winger Antony, after Erik ten Hag’s asset stripping. Brighton are interested in Manchester United left-back Brandon Williams, and Atletico have placed Antoine Griezmann on the transfer market. Atleti are also trying to sign Antoine Griezmann and Cristiano Ronaldo, but will find it difficult to sign a player as expensive as Ronaldo.
Real Madrid have a clause in their contract preventing them from signing Ronaldo, so Atletico can’t sign him without cutting their wage bill. Tottenham are another option for Ronaldo, although it is unlikely to happen. After all, Antoine Griezmann has signed a new two-year deal with Tottenham and is reportedly earning around PS200,000 per week. In other words, Atletico need to sell Griezmann to raise money to sign Ronaldo.
Atletico Madrid have ruled out a move for Ronaldo
A transfer to Manchester United is no longer a likely prospect with Atletico denying a request for a deal from the Portuguese striker. With United’s transfer window still open, they will likely be reluctant to sell Ronaldo. United boss Erik ten Hag is keen to keep Young and does not want to lose him. However, United would lose Ashley Young if he were to move. That would leave a gap in their squad and Atletico Madrid would not welcome this.
Although Atletico Madrid are reluctant to make any type of deal with United, they have not ruled out the possibility of signing Ronaldo. According to reports, United’s transfer policy limits their ability to spend big on star players and Ronaldo isn’t one of them. If a move were to take place, Atletico would put Antoine Griezmann on the market and sign the Portuguese.
Atletico have been linked with a move for Ronaldo because he is a proven talent. However, at the same time, the club’s financial situation may prevent them from sanctioning the deal. The club are already over their financial fair play target of EUR45 million, meaning they will have to clear a large sum of money in the near future to bring Ronaldo to their ranks.
Cristiano Ronaldo wants to stay at Manchester United
There are rumours that Manchester United want to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus, but the club have been insistent that they are not interested. The Portuguese has one year left on his contract and is free to leave if he wants to. United have also been linked with RB Salzburg’s 19-year-old striker, but the player wants to stay at Manchester United. The team are likely to look elsewhere in the summer transfer window, but they need to sign a new striker quickly to replace the star.
Although Ronaldo is a fan of Manchester United, he does not feel he has to stay to remain there. He wants to play in Europe and is determined to win trophies. If he leaves, he would be a blow to United’s prestige. Moreover, he will solve the problems facing new manager Erik ten Hag. He and Harry Maguire have clashed over captaincy and the Portuguese has refused to fit in to the pressing game.
The standoff between the Manchester United star and his former team is growing more disruptive and damaging to the club as the new season approaches. He has not been involved in any preseason training with United this summer. Although the standoff has been attributed to personal reasons, United have repeatedly told Ronaldo that he will be back in time for the start of the Premier League season. Aside from a lack of preseason games, United have made little improvement in their midfield.
