If you are wondering whether it is true that Cristiano Ronaldo has signed for the Premier League champions, you are not alone. There is a lot of speculation circling around the ‘Ronaldo switch’, including that Real Madrid are demanding Paul Pogba from Manchester United in exchange for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. However, before you start to panic, it’s worth bearing in mind that Manchester City have been linked with the Portuguese forward before.
Cristiano Ronaldo has signed for Manchester City
According to Goncalo Lopes, Manchester City have been in talks to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, but have backed out because they believe the deal is too complicated. They also doubt whether they can meet Ronaldo’s demands. Juventus are currently looking for EUR25 million, but have not yet agreed on a fee. Manchester City have yet to speak with Juventus, but they are confident that they can land the player.
The Manchester City and Juventus saga has been in the news for some time now, but if you want the latest update on this, you can check Sky Sports’ Transfer Centre blog. The team’s chief rumour-mongering department has been tasked with finding out if Ronaldo is joining the Premier League club. The super agent Jorge Mendes has also been in Turin today in negotiations with Juventus. Manchester City have already spent PS100 million on Jack Grealish, but have missed out on Harry Kane, who has confirmed he will stay with Tottenham. However, this has not stopped them from considering Ronaldo, if the cards fall their way.
Juventus and Manchester City have reached a deal on personal terms, but they have not yet agreed on a transfer fee. Juventus are keen to offload Ronaldo as he will be out of contract at the end of the season. Juve are also trying to save on wages as Cristiano Ronaldo earns about PS500,000 a week. Manchester City, meanwhile, are looking for a €25-30m fee, which means a huge pay-off for both sides.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is aiming to engineer a move to the Premier League before the transfer deadline on January 30. After all, he is only out of his contract with Juventus and has already made his decision on where to play the rest of his career. Then again, City has been linked with him previously, so the news is nothing new. So, if you’re curious to know what City thinks, go ahead and read on.
Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Manchester United
After more than eight years, Cristiano Ronaldo has made his return to Manchester United. The former Portugal international is set to join for a fee of 17 million euros plus an additional eight million euro for add-ons. His move is subject to a medical examination and personal terms. He has been linked with a return to Old Trafford after teasing his arrival at a news conference on Tuesday.
The rumors surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo’s future have been swirling for a while now, but he has now returned to Manchester United. The Portugal international was rumoured to move to Manchester City last month, but the club declined the deal. The Portuguese international was the top target of both Manchester City and Real Madrid, but United convinced him to return to Old Trafford. After all, the club was the club that turned him into a world superstar.
The return of Ronaldo has many fans happy. The Portuguese star was reportedly keen to leave Juventus after failing to win the Champions League last season. Although United finished sixth in the Premier League last season, they are in the Europa League this season. The club has not won a trophy since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club in 2012.
The Portuguese striker is United’s fourth summer signing after signing Jared Sancho and Tom Heaton. Ronaldo is United’s highest-profile signing, and the club’s Glazer family cherishes their relationship with Jorge Mendes. After all, the Portuguese forward owes the club everything. Nevertheless, the Glazers have given their blessing to the deal. It would not have been possible without the need for Juventus to sell their strikers, but the club has not given up on Ronaldo.
Real Madrid want Paul Pogba in return for Cristiano Ronaldo
Real Madrid are rumoured to want Paul Pogba in return for the Portuguese superstar. The French club have been busy this summer, bringing in Rodrygo Goes, Eder Militao, Luka Jovic, Ferland Mendy and Eden Hazard. It is not clear who would replace Ronaldo in the team, but the club is clearly keen to keep their best player.
The Frenchman is a target for Real Madrid, but he has not been linked with a move to the Spanish capital in recent weeks. His lack of success at Manchester United has prompted speculation that Real will consider signing him. But the Frenchman’s future is uncertain, and he must consider the demands before deciding to move. After all, he has not played a single match since he joined the club.
While Manchester United have made it clear they would like to keep Cristiano Ronaldo, Real have another priority. Pogba’s contract with Manchester United expires in the summer, and he will be free to join another club after his current one. A new deal would see the French international overtake Cristiano Ronaldo as the highest paid player in the Premier League. Real Madrid are also interested in signing Kylian Mbappe.
Juve have not ruled out a Pogba switch. Despite the high valuation of the Frenchman, Juventus have been unable to land a good deal for the France international. Juve have two factors working in their favor: one is the Italian tax policy and the other is the fact that the Italian club does not have to pay as much as Manchester United. A move to Juventus would give Pogba a chance to play in a modernised Santiago Bernabeu.
Manchester City have pulled out of the race to sign Cristiano Ronaldo
After failing to attract bidders for Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez, Manchester City have finally decided to withdraw from the race to sign the Portuguese star. City manager Pep Guardiola reportedly doubted that a deal would ever go through. Despite this, Ronaldo eventually signed for Manchester United. But despite the club’s desire to keep the Portuguese international, the Portuguese superstar has yet to live up to expectations.
United and Juventus are both keen on signing Ronaldo but Manchester City have ruled themselves out of the race. The deal is understood to have fallen through after the club failed to agree terms on a transfer fee. However, there are a number of potential solutions for both sides. United could be one of the first, while Manchester City could be another possibility. Manchester City will likely have to wait until after the World Cup to see what happens.
After failing to agree terms with Juventus, Manchester City have now withdrawn from the race to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. Although Manchester City were a strong contender, they were beaten by Manchester United and Juventus have since stepped up their interest. Manchester United are now the favourites to sign the Portuguese star. However, a deal could still happen between United and Juventus, as the Portuguese has already made his intentions known.
After the news emerged that United are in the running for the Portuguese star, City had to consider a number of other options. The club had already sold Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal and were looking to sign Raheem Sterling. With these two options, Pep Guardiola was forced to look elsewhere. The next target is Marc Cucurella. While City have ruled out a move for Ronaldo, they have remained interested in the winger’s future.
Does he offer any balance to Solskjaer’s team
Despite the recent tumultuous situation with the Red Devils, it remains to be seen if Ronaldo offers any balance to Solskjaer’S side. After all, the Portuguese has a record of nine goals in 15 Premier League appearances, including two match-winning efforts. But will he be able to get the best out of the rest of his squad?
After losing to Leicester City in their last match, Solskjaer’s side is facing another dilemma. Cristiano Ronaldo has failed to score in his last three games, despite being in the team’s best position. Ronaldo has pressed the ball less than any other player in the Premier League, but his lack of off-the-ball talent may hinder his impact.
One possible solution is to drop Pogba and play Bruno alongside the Frenchman. While his absence will be felt, the latter’s excellent tackling and passing has helped him to be Manchester United’s link man. A more balanced approach might be to play Bruno alongside Ronaldo in the centre of the park. After all, Bruno is one of the league’s best shot-creators.
The return of Cristiano Ronaldo was widely regarded as a statement of intent by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who had already made contact with Juventus over a summer transfer. But the new manager was not convinced that the Portugal international would prove to be a successful player at Manchester United. Key members of his staff had previously raised their concerns over his ability to be the team’s best player. The new boss was ultimately forced to accept the deal because he had no other option.
However, the Portuguese superstar’s move to Manchester City was not without controversy. Although Solskjaer and the fans supported the deal, there were still doubts over the player’s work rate and the money he would be willing to pay. As a result, many Manchester United fans were highly critical of the move. However, Ronaldo’s transfer to Manchester City caused a stir and a number of fans voiced their opposition.
