It has been reported that the Real Madrid superstar is ‘highly unlikely’ to play for Manchester United. However, he has reportedly been training alone in Australia and Singapore. According to reports, he has no plans to leave Real during the summer transfer window. Jose Mourinho has made it clear that he will not allow the Portuguese star to leave the club. However, the former Barcelona star has not ruled out a move to Atletico Madrid.
Ronaldo is ‘highly unlikely’ to play for Manchester United
As the new season approaches and the start of the Premier League, the standoff between United and Ronaldo becomes more damaging. The Portuguese superstar has not yet returned to preseason training with the Red Devils, a decision that has been blamed on ‘personal reasons’. United manager Erik ten Hag has repeatedly stated that Ronaldo is expected to be back by the time the league starts, but this still doesn’t seem to be the case.
Piers Morgan, a BBC sports presenter, claims to have spoken to Cristiano Ronaldo about his ‘highly unlikely’ decision to play for Manchester United. Ronaldo has previously revealed his desire to leave the Red Devils, and has informed the club of his desire to leave Manchester United. The Portuguese forward has failed to join the club’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.
However, there are other options available to Ronaldo at Manchester United. Although the Red Devils are not short of attacking options, they would much rather see him move on. The two parties would be better off taking separate paths. If Ronaldo were to leave the club, it would be best for both. The player and the club are best served by separating their paths. There is no doubting that the former Real Madrid star has many other options at the club.
Other major clubs have also been unable to sign the Portuguese international. Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich have all declined to sign him. Other teams such as Atletico Madrid have also made contact with Ronaldo regarding a transfer to Manchester United. In the past, Manchester United’s manager has repeatedly declared that Ronaldo is not for sale. However, his wages are proving to be prohibitively high for any club.
Ronaldo wants a team with a chance of winning the trophy
The Portuguese international has said he wants to play for a team that has a real chance of winning the trophy. Manchester United are currently unbeaten in the Premier League and have thrashed Newcastle 4-1 at Old Trafford. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored a brace in his second Manchester United start. The arrival of Ronaldo has raised expectations for the club and the Portuguese star has praised the new manager, Erik Ten Hag.
Manchester United are one of the clubs he is targeting in the transfer market. Currently, he is one season into a two-year deal, and it is understood he is after several top targets. Ronaldo has been linked with a number of European clubs, including Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong and several Ajax players. The Portuguese international would not want to waste his final two years at the club by playing for a team that is not likely to win the trophy.
Manchester United finished sixth in the English Premier League last season, and were uncompetitive in the Champions League. Manchester United finished one place above Chelsea in the league and went on to win the FA Cup. Bayern Munich, meanwhile, have won 10 Bundesliga titles and are favourites to lift the DFB-Pokal, the Bundesliga’s equivalent of the FA Cup. If Ronaldo were to sign for a team that could win the Champions League, the possibility of winning it would be extremely high.
Real Madrid are the next team on his list. Real Madrid were the club where Ronaldo was the most successful during his career, and he was a key player in that era. But he also wants a team that has a chance of winning the trophy. The Spanish giants are currently competing in the UEFA Champions League and Ronaldo wants to join a team with a chance of winning the trophy.
Ronaldo has been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid
It’s no surprise that Atletico Madrid have been rumoured to be interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese international has been linked with a move to the Spanish club, who can offer him Champions League football next season. But Real Madrid and Atleti will have to agree on a transfer fee and Ronaldo’s age. The deal would require both parties to sell players, which would be very difficult for the latter.
Despite the speculation, Atletico are currently looking to strengthen their forward line. They have made an offer for a PS12m deal for Eintracht Frankfurt left-winger Filip Kostic. Meanwhile, Leeds United are set to sign former Borussia Dortmund assistant Rene Maric. Bournemouth are also weighing a move for Coventry City goalkeeper Simon Moore.
Manchester United have also hired a new manager, Erik ten Hag, after a long search. While the Red Devils are on tour in Australia, Ronaldo is in Portugal for personal reasons. It is possible that United hired Erik ten Hag based on his style of play at Ajax. The Dutch coach is known for his pressing style and fast-paced 4-3-3 system. The new manager has stated that the team will need time to get into his desired level.
Ronaldo wants to link up with Benzema and Modric at Atletico Madrid
According to the Portuguese, a potential move to Atletico Madrid is Ronaldo’s next goal. After a dazzling individual performance, the Portuguese wants to link up with Benzema and Modric to help Atletico Madrid become champions. The three players are known for their improvisation and love of risk. They are the ‘pencil’ in space, but are much more practical than a pencil. The three players combined to eliminate Manchester City from the Champions League. Guardiola’s weight-of-numbers implementation is the antithesis of this style.
The Spanish club is looking for a new head coach, and Florentino Perez has some choices. He considered four names last summer, but did not land the role. PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino is now poised to leave the club. While he is unlikely to take over at Manchester United, he might be given the chance to take over at Atletico after the Champions League.
Real Madrid’s new coach, Maurizio Sarri, is keen on signing a player who can play with him at the top level. Benzema, who was alongside Ronaldo at Real Madrid, finished top scorer last season with 27 goals and 14 assists. The Portuguese forward has also been a key part of Real Madrid’s success, winning four Champions League titles and two La Liga titles.
Maurizio Sarri’s desire to sign Ronaldo for Atletico has prompted the former Manchester United player to ask for a transfer from Real. The Spanish side’s close friend, Edu Aguirre, made the announcement during a popular football show in Spain called El Chiringuito. The decision was not made on the basis of a financial reason, but rather the mutual respect between Ronaldo and Simeone.
Ronaldo is desperate to land the Monaco hitman
The Portuguese star is in a bid to seal a deal with Monaco after the club announced they are interested in acquiring the Uruguayan striker. While it may be tempting to sign the player, the Serie A club have already been linked with other players, including Barcelona’s Lionel Messi. The Spanish giants are desperate to sign the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, but they have not been successful. The rumoured move was originally believed to be an attempt to get the player from Barcelona to Madrid. However, after a few months of speculation, no deal has been signed yet, and Ronaldo is desperate to land the Monaco hitman to seal a transfer.
