J ust when it seemed as though Cristiano Ronaldo was going to leave Juventus and join Manchester City , a dramatic turn of events now means that the year-old is closing in on a return to former club Manchester United. Twelve years after the Portuguese forward left Manchester United to join Real Madrid , and roughly 18 hours after he seemed set to become a Manchester City player, a return to Old Trafford is now on the cards for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
The journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Manchester United have made an official bid for Cristiano Ronaldo , while Goal's Juventus correspondent Romeo Agresti claims that the Red Devils have made an offer of 28 million euros. This comes after La Gazzetta dello Sport declared that a fee in the region of million euros would likely see Cristiano Ronaldo join Manchester City , but now the same fee is set to be enough for Manchester United to bring him back to the club.
The reasoning for Juventus wanting to receive this fee is because it is the amount that they still owe to Real Madrid from his million euro move to the club in In addition, freeing up Cristiano Ronaldo 's 31 million euro a year salary will benefit the club financially as they look to rebuild.
From Fabrizio Romano:. Fabrizio Romano confirms on his Twitch stream that Jorge Mendes is now in Paris after meeting with the club earlier in the day. We're a week removed from Ronaldo's Instagram take-down on "frivolous" rumors linking him to Real Madrid. Turns out Madrid may not have been the destination for CR7. A post shared by Cristiano Ronaldo cristiano. Anyone who knows me is aware of how focused I am on my work. Less talk and more action, this has been my guiding motto since the start of my career.
However, in view of everything that's been said and written recently, I have to set out my position. More than the disrespect for me as a man and as a player, the frivolous way that my future is covered in the media is disrespectful to all the clubs involved in these rumours, as well as to their players and staff.
My story at Real Madrid has been written. It's been recorded. In words and numbers, in trophies and titles, in records and in headlines. It's in the Museum at the Bernabeu Stadium and it's also in the minds of every fan of the club. I know that the true Real Madrid fans will continue to have me in their hearts, and I will have them in mine. As well as this most recent episode in Spain, there have been frequent news and stories associating me with a number of clubs in many different Leagues, with nobody ever being concerned about trying to find out the actual truth.
I'm breaking my silence now to say that I can't allow people to keep playing around with my name. I remain focused on my career and in my work, committed and prepared for all the challenges that I have to face. Everything else? Everything else is just talk.?
