Considering the recent transfer rumours surrounding the Real Madrid star, it seems like the best time to take a closer look at the latest move from Madrid. The Portuguese midfielder is wanted by Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid. However, he has not been told what is best for his future. Is this the end of his Man United career? Read on to discover whether the Portuguese will ever be able to move on from Man United.
Atletico Madrid
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has urged Real Madrid to sign his former player, and his recent comments have fueled speculation in the Spanish capital. Ronaldo’s relationship with Real is long-established, and the Portuguese star has long been linked with a move to Atletico. However, the Portuguese has been on personal leave, and has yet to take part in any pre-season training or tours. This is something the Ronaldo camp is trying to leverage.
During his time with Manchester City, Mendes has been a familiar face in the football world. He once worked with Manchester United’s manager Jose Mourinho, and was a major influence in the transfer of Ronaldo to the Premier League. Mendes’ ties with Atletico Madrid and the Premier League have widened since the arrival of Jose Mourinho.
However, despite the interest of Manchester United, it is clear that Ronaldo is not likely to return to Portugal anytime soon. He has shown great pride in winning the Portuguese title with Sporting, and his wife, Dolores Mendes, has said that she will try to talk to him to bring him back to Portugal. Nevertheless, this is unlikely to happen, as Ronaldo will play for Sporting again next season.
As Atleti seek to balance their books and navigate Financial Fair Play regulations, it may be necessary to sell a few players. They could sell fading stars such as Antoine Griezmann, who has failed to impress since joining the Wanda on loan from Barcelona. Juve are also reportedly interested in signing flop striker Alvaro Morata. Meanwhile, Ronaldo appears to be in good shape, with recent Instagram pictures confirming his fitness.
Bayern Munich
Cristiano Ronaldo’s long-time agent, Jorge Mendes, has said he will try to force the Brazilian out of Manchester United. Ronaldo has been unhappy with his performances for Manchester United this season and with the style of play of new manager David Rangnick. The Portuguese has admitted that he is feeling the pressure at the club and has decided to look for a new home.
United fans are wildly optimistic about a possible Ronaldo return. But, if he leaves the club, the move would be expensive and he would likely have to leave the club in January. It would be better for the club to invest in other areas of their squad, such as two world-class centre-backs and a devastating midfielder. However, some have cast doubt on the legitimacy of Mendes’ claim, given his involvement in third party ownership.
Real Madrid, Juventus and Bayern Munich have all rejected the opportunity to sign Ronaldo, and his wage demands would probably rule them out. In fact, it’s very unlikely that a deal with Ronaldo can be completed. He is already the Champions League record scorer with 141 goals. But, with the high wages of the Portuguese, PSG are unlikely to be in the running. The French giants may be willing to cut his wages to get him.
The Portuguese international’s agent Jorge Mendes has been working hard to find a solution to Ronaldo’s problem. Ronaldo, reportedly willing to accept a 30 per cent pay cut to leave the club, has also tried to find a new club. His agent hopes that he can force the Portuguese international to leave Old Trafford. The new United boss Erik ten Hag hopes to hold clear-minded talks with Ronaldo, who wants to play Champions League football in a club where his output isn’t solely dependent on him.
Bayern Munich’s interest in signing Robert Lewandowski
Liverpool have confirmed that striker Sadio Mane is leaving the club. It is unclear how much Bayern are willing to pay to keep Lewandowski at the club. Robert Lewandowski is currently under contract with FC Bayern until 2023, and has already given his club everything. The former Dortmund star will be 32 next month and has expressed an interest in joining Barcelona. He is currently looking for a new club, but it remains to be seen if he will stay.
Apparently, Bayern Munich are keeping an eye on the Polish international. But they are not the only club interested in signing the 24-year-old. Manchester United and Real Madrid are also monitoring the situation. Lewandowski has previously worked under Bayern manager Pep Guardiola. And this is no surprise – he has scored a hat trick in three appearances for the Bundesliga club. And with this latest news, Chelsea have a fresh reason to keep an eye on him.
Barcelona have been linked with a deal for Robert Lewandowski, but Bayern Munich are keen to keep him. But despite this, the Bundesliga side are not likely to be able to afford a superstar to replace him. They have already failed to land Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United and are now looking to swoop in and bring in a young forward who can help them get back on the ladder.
A club record fee could be demanded if Bayern Munich sell the striker. Juventus paid 40 million euros for Douglas Costa in 2018.
Atletico Madrid’s interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo
Diego Simeone has been told that the Portuguese international is ‘impressed’ by Atletico Madrid’s interest in signing him. Ronaldo has scored more than 800 senior goals for both club and country and scored 18 Premier League goals last season. Simeone would be able to benefit from Ronaldo’s vast experience and reputation in Spain, and will be keen to work with him. Atletico already have five strikers on their books and would have to sell a player to make room for Ronaldo.
Atletico Madrid have a longstanding interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo, but it is unlikely that they will be able to afford the cost of signing Cristiano Ronaldo. The Spanish club are in need of a striker and are considering a move to another top European club to replace Luis Suarez, who left them last summer after his contract expired. Ronaldo could be the ideal replacement, and would cost around PS15 million.
The Spanish club have reportedly had talks with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, but so far Atletico have been unable to sign the Portuguese superstar. Earlier in the season, a deal with Juventus was rejected, and a move for Ronaldo was unlikely. Atletico are facing a difficult financial situation and would have to sell a player to free up funds for the big deal.
As part of their upcoming summer transfer windows, Atletico have also placed Antoine Griezmann on the transfer market. Despite the rumours that he may be ready to take a pay cut in order to join Atletico, the Portuguese striker has been open to moving to Spain. The former Manchester United striker has been a key part of the club’s success in the Champions League.
United’s interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo
If the club’s new coach is keen on bringing back the Portuguese star, a number of clubs are eyeing the forward. United have signed Erik ten Hag, who was head coach of Ajax previously. The Dutchman revealed last month that Ronaldo was on the club’s agenda for the coming season. The former Sporting CP striker joined United in 2003, scoring 118 goals in 292 games. He left in 2009 to join Real Madrid, where he won four Champions League titles and was named the top scorer in Serie A.
Bayern Munich have denied any interest in signing Ronaldo. The player is contracted until 2023, but his future at Bayern remains uncertain – there are rumors of a potential exit. However, the club’s owner Erik ten Hag has stood firm against any move by the player, despite a recent report claiming the player is unhappy with his current contract. In the meantime, the club has contacted the representatives of Ronaldo’s former Juventus teammates to find out if any of them are interested in signing the Portuguese international.
Manchester United are reportedly willing to let Ronaldo leave the club if the player is offered a certain fee. The Portuguese star has reportedly said that he wishes to play Champions League football for the next few years. After a trophy-less season at Manchester United, the Portuguese star has become a target for clubs interested in signing him. Manchester United finished sixth in the Premier League last season, relegated to the Europa League.
In the meantime, Manchester United are keeping an eye on Ajax forward Antony, and they could even sign him even if Ronaldo stays. Meanwhile, Manchester United are in talks with Rashford and Antonio Valencia to extend their contract. The deal may take a long time to complete, but there are a number of rumours swirling around about a possible deal. However, the United defender believes that his team will be better than their previous form.
