Ronaldo

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has told the Premier League club he wants to leave this summer, soccer insider Fabrizio Romano said Saturday.

United is apparently aware of Ronaldo's decision, but they remain "hopeful" the star player will stay. Ronaldo, who rejoined United just last year, "wants to see more ambition," according to Romano. Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United might be coming to an end already.

Cristiano Ronaldo still has a year left on his contract after re-joining Manchester United in 2021.

Cristiano Ronaldo's days at Manchester United seem numbered. After several weeks that saw his name surface in connection with potential transfers to Chelsea ...

Reports in 2021/22 indicated that Ronaldo's salary at Manchester United in the first year of his two-year deal was approximately £480,000 ($592,000) per week, making him the club's highest paid player. Despite his scoring exploits, plenty of criticism was directed at Ronaldo and his perceived inability to pressure opponents from the front line as he once did. The Blues struggled in the scoring department and could use a dependable goal-scoring center forward after sending Romelu Lukaku on loan to Inter Milan. But it also wouldn't be the worst scenario for Ten Hag to start his tenure with a slightly fresher slate. It's unclear what it might take to lure him away from United, with the club making it clear in June that it had no intention of letting him go. According to The Times in England, Ronaldo has asked to be transferred this summer should a suitable offer emerge.

Now that the soccer superstar reportedly wants out from Man U., we figure out where he's most likely to go.

The Blues have a new owner Todd Boehly, who is looking to make a splash at the helm. Count out Ronaldo moving to one of his old clubs outside of his home nation or to a country he’s never played in. Sporting is his boyhood club, playing for some level of the franchise from 1997-2003. Multiple reports have claimed Ronaldo has prioritized playing in the UEFA Champions League for the rest of his career, hoping to force a move away from Old Trafford this summer. The French giants lost in the Round of 16 with the Argentinian legend’s only season in Paris. The easy comparison is to Lionel Messi, who secured his transfer to PSG from Barcelona at 34.

Manchester United's position is Ronaldo has a year left on his contract - but the forward wants to play Champions League football again.

As The Athletic’s Manchester United correspondent Laurie Whitwell wrote: “New manager Erik ten Hag has been preparing for Ronaldo’s presence in his team and emphasised the point at his unveiling. So Ronaldo’s desire to leave creates turbulence, especially as United are yet to secure any of their prime transfer targets. Ronaldo undoubtedly has a strong emotional tie to United — this is his second spell at the club. He was United’s top scorer last season with 24 goals in 38 games. They are still to make a signing this summer. He previously played there between 2003 and 2009, winning the Premier League three times and the Champions League once.

But in a world in which everything is pretty much Millwall, and getting worse by the day, the idea that they have some say in what’s coming might be the most hilarious miscalculation of them all. Durant? He just wants to leave Brooklyn, either because the Nets mistreated his great pal Kyrie Irving or because his great pal Kyrie Irving mistreated Durant’s faith in him and his dream of winning together. He rejoined Manchester United to relive his most glorious years, while Durant left his most glorious years in an attempt to recreate them 2,900 miles away with him as the objet de culte. Ronaldo announced that he wants to be released from the burden that is playing for Manchester United on a Saturday, which is as good a way to lose the news cycle as there is, but the news is plenty monumental, long weekend or not. He has earned the right to leave, and Manchester United has earned the right to lose him through its steady deterioration into unfunny comedy. Ronaldo also doesn’t have Durant’s fixation for stealing the Fourth of July every three years, but to Ronaldo 1) the Fourth of July actually falls on December 1, and 2) his Fourth of July is just another day lounging in wherever the nine-digit club’s version of Ibiza is located.

Selon le quotidien Sport, le joueur de Manchester City aurait donné son accord pour rejoindre le club catalan. Le club anglais demanderait 100 millions d'euros pour lâcher son milieu de terrain. Le joueur souhaiterait rester en Catalogne. Qui pour le remplacer en cas de départ ? Le milieu de terrain chilien, passé par la Juventus, le Bayern Munich ou encore le FC Barcelone, intéresse le club brésilien de Flamengo selon le journaliste italien Fabrizio Romano. Les discussions en seraient même à un stade très avancé. Le joueur de 35 ans est sous contrat avec l'Inter Milan jusqu'en 2023. Les transferts de Paul Pogba et Angel Di Maria à la Juventus Turin sont sur le point d'être finalisés, indique Fabrizio Romano. Le Français de 29 ans retrouverait ainsi le club dans lequel il a brillé entre 2012 et 2016.

Si MU décidait de répondre favorablement à la demande de Ronaldo, ce qui selon le Times et la BBC ne serait pas vraiment la tendance, les destinations possibles ne seraient pas nombreuses. L'autre club serait le Bayern Munich, très offensif dit-on sur le dossier, mais la formation bavaroise doit gérer le transfert de Robert Lewandowski, pour lequel les offres (notamment) du Barça ne lui conviennent pas. Selon le quotidien anglais, le Portugais aurait personnellement demandé un bon de sortie.

CRISTIANO RONALDO could leave Manchester United now the summer transfer window is open.

And, before talk of a potential move away arose, it was reported his presence at the club had upset the likes of Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial. “He doesn’t want to not play Champions League football because he wants to be the greatest Champions League goalscorer of all time and that’s how Ronaldo is made.” Cristiano Ronaldo is currently in the spotlight. "He did really well in a tough season during COVID-19 despite his difficulties adjusting to life in Manchester - he couldn't believe that it got dark outside at 3pm in the winter - but he knew he wasn't going to play with Ronaldo and wanted to join Barca. “A lot of it is about him but the teams he’s played in have been successful, so you always go with that as a team player. Yet he’s now ready to leave the Red Devils behind, with the veteran unwilling to spend a year playing in the Europa League as he enters the twilight years of his career.
