After announcing the desire to leave .. 6 possible destinations for Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo’s desire to “leave” from Manchester United became clear, after the “Times”
newspaper report confirmed that he had told the club of his desire to leave, which put European
clubs “on alert” to sign the Portugal legend.
In view of the situation and past reports during June, several clubs stand out as being the closest
to contracting Ronaldo in the event of his departure, and additional clubs may enter the line to sign him.
American dream
Last week, The Athletic revealed a secret meeting between the new owner of Chelsea, the American
billionaire Todd Boyle, and Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes.
The new owner of Chelsea has “giant plans” for the club, after he bought the team, with a group of
investors, months ago, from Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.
After he changed the administrative side in Chelsea completely, Boelli began to move to sign big stars,
and the first candidate was Ronaldo, who would fill the void left by the departure of Belgian striker
Romelu Lukaku.
The most suitable adventure
Weeks ago, reports from Spanish newspapers published that Bayern Munich wanted to sign Portuguese star
Cristiano Ronaldo, before the sporting director of the German giant came out to comment on the situation.
Speaking to German Sky Sports, Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic denied the news
linking the team to Ronaldo.
But the Times newspaper now indicates that Bayern Munich may think about Ronaldo seriously, if
the “crisis” of striker Robert Lewandowski ends with his departure from the Bavarian club.
But it is certain that Bayern Munich will not act for Ronaldo, until the issue of Lewandowski is resolved.
The idea of moving to Bayern Munich is considered the most attractive to Ronaldo, because the team
is among the strongest in Europe, and the dream of achieving the Champions League title one last time
is the most “logical” in Munich.
Back to Mourinho
According to the newspaper “La Gazzetta dello Sport”, Mendes offered the opportunity to sign his client
Ronaldo to the Italian club Roma and Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho.
The main problem in Rome is that the team will not participate in the Champions League, as the
Portuguese star will be deprived of his favorite tournament.
Juve’s betrayal
The same newspaper also indicated a connection between Mendes and the management of Inter Milan,
the Italian league runner-up, who plays offensive football under the leadership of Simone Inzaghi.
Ronaldo may return for a final adventure in Italy, and he will participate in the Champions League,
but he will be considered a “traitor” among Juventus fans, the historical enemy of Inter.
Weirdest move
As for the strangest move, it may be a move to Paris Saint-Germain, where he will play alongside
Argentine Lionel Messi, in what would be a historic transfer.
Paris Saint-Germain has not shown interest in Ronaldo yet, but he is the most able among the previous
clubs, to bear the costs of Ronaldo’s huge salary.
The idea of bringing together Ronaldo and Messi will also represent a major marketing blow to the club,
which has always sought to enhance the marketing aspect and attract big names, even at the expense
of coaches’ ideas.
Back to start
In previous statements, the Portuguese star indicated his desire to play with his “mother” team,
Sporting Lisbon, to end there his career, one day.
Although it is now unlikely, Ronaldo’s return to Portugal may be a “possible” option, especially since
the player is 37 years old.
