Cristiano Ronaldo transfer rumors persisted this summer. However, both Manchester United and the player himself seemed interested in further cooperation. CR7 probably has other plans.

The Portuguese is keen to showcase his star qualities again in the Champions League next season. As United failed to qualify for the premier league, Ronaldo asked for his release, according to the Times.

As soon as a club has enough reputation and makes an attractive offer, the attacker wants to turn his back on Old Trafford after just one year. Chelsea and FC Bayern were recently traded as potential buyers.

The German record champion has already declined with thanks in the person of Hasan Salihamidzic. “Cristiano Ronaldo is a top player with an outstanding career,” admitted the sports director to Sky. “The rumor that is circulating, however, is a rumor with no truth to it.”

Salihamidzic’s statement does not necessarily have to be taken at face value. A month before Sadio Mane was signed, those responsible for Bayern met with his advisor. When asked, they only talked about Konrad Laimer, who is also represented by Mane’s agent. The end is known.

Much hotter at the moment is undisputedly the track to Chelsea. Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, recently met Todd Boehly, who has just taken over the Blues and is handling transfers for the time being. After the takeover, the Londoners have enormous resources again, so that the Ronaldo change would be easy to handle.

Will CR7 inherit Lukaku or Lewandowski?

With 113m flop Romelu Lukaku leaving London for Inter Milan, there is definitely a need for a new alpha in attack. However, FC Bayern could also need a new, accurate attacker. As is well known, Robert Lewandowski wants to switch to FC Barcelona.
