There have been a number of recent stories regarding the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Manchester United. While Atletico Madrid remain the favourites, there are also reports stating that Timo Werner may leave Chelsea and Christian Eriksen has agreed to move to Old Trafford. The latest development, however, is that Ronaldo has returned to England for talks about his future. In the meantime, we can expect the first update to come in the coming days.
Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United
Reports claim Cristiano Ronaldo has flown back to England for talks on his Manchester United future with manager Erik ten Hag. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner did not train on Monday after his trip to Australia. With a new Premier League season less than two weeks away, it is unknown if Ronaldo will take part in training on Tuesday. United are preparing for the new campaign, which kicks off on August 28. Ronaldo’s contract is set to expire in 2023, but he has an option to extend it by one year. The former Manchester United manager has a good relationship with the player and was instrumental in his return to Old Trafford last season.
It is not known if the deal will be completed, but the sources close to the transfer have confirmed that it is possible for Ronaldo to remain at Manchester United. United have been linked with a deal with Atletico Madrid, but the Spanish club have ruled out the move. The move is deemed financially unfeasible, according to United sources. However, the Portuguese international wants to sign off at the top of his game, which is unlikely to be at Old Trafford.
After missing pre-season training sessions and the United tour of Australia, the Portuguese international is flying back to England for talks with the club. After being out of the country due to family issues, he is expected to meet new manager Erik ten Hag and try to sort out his future with the club. There is no clear indication as to whether he will return to training, however, until he meets with the new manager.
Atletico Madrid is the most likely destination
While Manchester United have denied that they are in talks with Ronaldo over a possible transfer, reports have emerged that Atletico Madrid have approached the player about a possible move. Diego Simeone has reportedly been convinced to pursue Ronaldo in the transfer market. Meanwhile, reports have emerged that Chelsea have abandoned their attempts to sign the Portuguese ace this summer.
It is unclear when and where Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to return to Manchester United after meeting with the club’s management team. The five-time Balon d’Or winner has been training in Lisbon this week to stay in top form. However, he is not expected to be ready to return to full training just yet. After the recent trip to Perth, United manager Erik ten Hag has remained tight-lipped on the matter, but has hinted that the Portuguese international will stay at the club for at least another season. United have an option to extend his deal to the summer of 2024.
It is highly unlikely that Atletico Madrid will be able to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, but they have accepted that they are unlikely to sign him. The Portugal international was not included in the team’s recent trip to Thailand and Australia, and it is believed that he was away on a private matter. It has been rumoured that Ronaldo told Man United’s management at the start of July that he wanted to be sold before the end of the season so he could continue to play in the Champions League.
Although it is unclear whether Ronaldo will train with United on Tuesday, reports indicate that he will meet with club officials and will hold face-to-face talks with manager Erik ten Hag. It is unclear whether he will train with his teammates on Tuesday or whether he will be away on his holiday. Whether or not Ronaldo will report back for training on Tuesday remains to be seen, but this is a positive sign for the club.
Timo Werner could leave Chelsea
Manchester United did not train on Monday as the five-time Balon d’Or winner travelled back to Portugal for talks on his future. The Red Devils will play two pre-season friendlies before they kick off their season against Brighton on August 26. Although a move for the Real Madrid star seems unlikely, the arrival of the Portugal international would be a positive sign for the club. With less than a month left in the summer transfer window, United could be without a central striker for a long period of time. As a result, Anthony Martial has played up front in the past few weeks. The Frenchman spent last season on loan with Sevilla.
The move is a positive sign for the club as they begin the new season in less than two weeks. The news of Ronaldo’s return to England ahead of the upcoming season is also welcomed by Ten Hag. Although Ronaldo is not expected to train with the squad on Tuesday, his decision to travel to England for face-to-face talks with the manager and staff will be welcomed by the club’s fans and management.
In the meantime, there are rumours that Manchester United have made an approach for Frenkie de Jong. According to Portuguese outlet O Jogo, United’s initial bid of $67 million for the Brazilian striker was rejected. While this move is unlikely to change the future of Ronaldo, it would be a good start for the club, as it will help ease the pressure on the Portugal international. However, Erik ten Hag is keen to strengthen his attacking line and build around Frenkie de Jong and Christian Eriksen, as well as switching to a possession based system.
Christian Eriksen has agreed to move to Manchester United
Danish international Christian Eriksen has agreed to sign a transfer to Manchester United. The move is subject to medical checks and the proper signing of a contract. The Danish international will be a valuable addition to United’s midfield and is likely to impress manager Louis van Gaal. He has played for Tottenham for seven years and has scored 69 goals. Eriksen will fit well into the side’s 4-3-3 system.
The move is a major boost for the club’s ambitions after Cristiano Ronaldo’s surprise decision to leave. Although he did not turn up for pre-season training, his absence was deemed an excuse for his lack of availability. Ten Hag had been patient enough to wait to sign Eriksen despite his family issues. Eriksen, who has family issues, has also been keen to stay in the London area.
The Danish international has agreed to sign a three-year contract with the Premier League side. Although it is not yet official, the move is likely to be finalised soon. A medical will still be necessary to complete the deal. The defender will now undergo a medical before signing the contract. Eriksen was a free agent following the end of his contract at Inter Milan. Tottenham had been interested in signing Eriksen, but Conte had other targets in mind.
The Danish international has been in the Premier League for six months. Since joining Brentford, he has featured in 11 Premier League games. His contract with Brentford was only for six months. The Danish striker has been attracting the attention of numerous clubs, but the move to Manchester United is likely to be his final destination. As of now, United have already lost Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba, but Eriksen has reportedly agreed to join them on a free transfer.
Andreas Pereira is on loan at Fulham
Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira has agreed a loan move to Fulham. The 28-year-old joined Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven in 2011 and spent ten years at the club, making 75 first-team appearances. During his time at Manchester United, Pereira had four loan spells at Granada, Valencia and Lazio. Last season, he was on loan with Brazilian side Flamengo, where he played more minutes than he did during his entire Manchester United career.
The Brazilian had spent the previous season on loan at Flamengo. Flamengo had an option to purchase Pereira, but the Brazilian refused to pay full price. Fulham stepped in and signed the player, and now they hope to keep him for the remainder of the season. Pereira is expected to play a big role in Fulham’s efforts to stay in the Premier League after promotion to the top flight.
Despite the lack of first-team action, Pereira was expected to join Fulham on a permanent basis. Fulham accepted an initial bid of PS8million and were able to add up to that amount in the future. In addition, the deal contains a sell-on clause of 20%. Fulham are expected to announce the loan deal before the end of the week. For their part, Man United are keen to sell Pereira for a profit.
Manchester City are looking to keep the top flight after being promoted to the Premier League. Pereira signed for the Red Devils in 2012 from PSV Eindhoven and progressed through the youth ranks before breaking into the first team. Since his debut, he has been on loan at several other clubs including Fulham. The 26-year-old has played 29 times in the Brazil league this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists in the process. While the Brazilian international has made impressive contributions to Fulham’s team this season, he is capable of so much more.
