Manchester United are ready to sanction Ronaldo’s exit but only if he performs well this season. Ronaldo’s agent is positive about his arrival at Atletico Madrid, while United’s hierarchy is not expecting him to do wonders in the final campaign. The current output of Ronaldo’s career does not justify his market value. The move would give Ronaldo the freedom to leave in the summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent remains optimistic about his arrival at Atletico Madrid
While Atletico’s president Enrique Cerezo has played down the possibility of Ronaldo joining the club, his agent, Jorge Mendes, remains confident that Ronaldo will join the club this summer. Atletico are trying to get Ronaldo’s agent to sell some of their high earners, such as Antoine Griezmann and Saul, to free up some money for Ronaldo.
While the club’s rival Real Madrid have been linked with Ronaldo, Atletico are the most likely option. The Madrid club are in the UEFA Champions League next season, which makes a move to Atletico Madrid a far more palatable prospect. In addition, Diego Simeone is keen on bringing Ronaldo to Atletico. However, the club are unlikely to get the necessary finances to lure Ronaldo. However, the presence of Mendes at Atletico’s camp has increased their chances of landing Ronaldo.
Meanwhile, Simeone, who is desperate for a prolific goalscorer, has also had phone conversations with Villarreal manager Unai Emery. He was eager to make a move to La Liga because it meant finding regular first-team football. Simeone is also a big fan of Ronaldo and is confident he will be a good fit at the club.
Despite the rumors of his departure from Juventus, he is still keen to join a club that has the potential to win a Champions League trophy. And it is believed that his agent will accept a 30% wage cut. However, his teammate Arthur Melo and Aaron Ramsey are said to be surplus to requirements, so Ronaldo’s arrival to Atleti is not entirely off-limits.
The move to Atletico Madrid is the latest twist in the story surrounding the Portugal international. Despite the recent injury concerns and speculation over his fitness, Zidane and Ronaldo’s agent have maintained their optimism about the player’s arrival in the Spanish capital. Both managers have made clear that they have no intention of selling the Portuguese superstar to another club, but they are not ruling out the possibility of signing him as a free agent.
Manchester United’s hierarchy isn’t expecting him to work wonders in the final campaign
Although he has been expected to be a major part of the team this season, the Portuguese international is still far from a surefire first-team starter. United have struggled for goals throughout the season and Ronaldo has been unable to deliver on his promise. The club’s hierarchy has already sounded out a possible exit strategy for the Portuguese star.
The former Real Madrid star is 40 years old and has had a storied career at Old Trafford. However, the club have lost many of their stars over the past few seasons, including Nemanja Matic, Edinson Cavani, Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and Lee Grant. With Ronaldo, United have become the club’s most senior and oldest player since Nemanja Matic. He has scored 18 Premier League goals and has won a Champions League game in his career.
Despite the implosion of the club’s title hopes, Ronaldo has been part of United’s plans this summer. The club are hopeful that a suitable bid will be made for the Portuguese superstar. If Ronaldo is allowed to leave the club, it would accelerate the rebuilding process of the club and accelerate the project of manager Erik ten Hag. If the Portuguese international leaves the club in the summer, he will be back at the club next season.
Although Ronaldo was the most popular player in the world last season, it is unlikely that he will do the same magic this season. After all, the club finished second last season and added Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane to its squad. But the club’s season ended in a disappointing second place, and the new chief executive, Richard Arnold, is hoping for a better future for the club.
While the Portuguese international has a record of scoring 24 goals last season, the club has been forced to spend a small fortune on other players. It is understood that United are not planning to spend a lot of money on a second striker. While the club has signed Ajax midfielder Lisandro Martinez for PS51.6 million, they have not yet signed Frenkie de Jong. Despite Ronaldo’s success last season, United are still looking for more attacking options. They have been linked with the signing of Ajax winger Antony but have not signed a contract with him.
Ronaldo’s current output doesn’t justify his current market value
As a player with an incredible reputation, Cristiano Ronaldo’s current output doesn’t justify his market value. The 32-year-old has scored 24 goals in 23 appearances for Real Madrid this season, which is a decent number but not quite impressive. However, despite this, he remains the 2nd highest paid player in the world, even though his output has decreased in recent months. Furthermore, his personal ‘brand’ has doubled in the last two years.
After scoring a brace in Portugal’s 3-0 win over Hungary, Cristiano Ronaldo was already worth $4 billion. This drop in value was the result of several factors, but the most important of these is that the US stock market was at a low point at that moment, and the Ford Motor Company had fallen two billion dollars in value. Moreover, such movements in stocks are often too complex to be attributed to a single factor, and they are susceptible to confounding events.
While many sports stars are making billions, Cristiano Ronaldo’s current output doesn ‘t justify his current market value’. His latest contract with Nike is worth $109 million over four years. He also received a massive endorsement deal with the company. Nike paid him $280 million for his appearances and content in the video. This deal is similar to the one LeBron James signed with Nike.
Despite the fact that his output doesn’t justify his current market value, Ronaldo is an excellent example of a self-made entrepreneur who uses his fame to support various causes. He donated $83,000 to a 10-year-old fan in need of brain surgery. Similarly, he donated $165,000 to a cancer research center in Portugal. And last but not least, he donated EUR600,000 to a non-governmental organization after the 2016 Champions League final. Furthermore, his charitable efforts are not limited to soccer, as he has been involved in controversies with the world’s largest company – Armani.
The recent scandals surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo have added to his controversy. Although he was praised for his contributions to the sport, he has never played a full international game. He has been linked with several scandals, including a rape case. Cristiano Ronaldo’s alleged affair with Kathryn Mayorga was also settled by a judge on a technicality.
Ronaldo’s suspension gives him freedom to leave in the summer
With the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United are in a precarious position when it comes to finding a replacement. The club has already struggled in the transfer market and are yet to make a single signing before the squad returns for summer training. If Ronaldo decides to leave Manchester United, it will mean the club will have to spend big to replace him. But it is hard to blame the Portuguese forward for his inability to find a new club, particularly considering his lack of experience.
The news that Cristiano is set to be suspended gives United time to secure a replacement. United need a striker and it’s clear that they can’t offer him a contract worth over £100 million. However, Ronaldo is willing to leave if he can play Champions League football next season. He’s also keen on a new challenge after finishing sixth in the Premier League.
While it is clear that the former Real Madrid star has his own wishes regarding his future, it seems that the club cannot force the issue any earlier. However, if Ronaldo’s suspension does give him the freedom to leave, it will accelerate the rebuilding plan that Ten Hag has in place. The club’s plans for the summer will benefit from this, as it will allow Ronaldo to leave before the end of the current season.
Despite the suspension, it will give him four days to get up to speed before the Newcastle game on Saturday. Ronaldo is likely to make his second Manchester United debut on September 11 against Newcastle United. Ronaldo first established himself as a Manchester legend during his first spell between 2003 and 2009. He won three Premier League titles and the Champions League while playing at Old Trafford and Juventus. He also scored 118 goals in his first spell with the club.
The Portuguese captain has expressed his desire to leave Manchester United and is now out of contract in the summer. Manchester United, however, have said that the club is not looking to sell him, despite his contract until 2023. Despite this, United are reportedly close to completing deals for Frenkie de Jong, Ajax centre-back Lisandro Martinez and Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia.
