Market – PSG, Chelsea, Bayern, Saudi Arabia: but where will Cristiano Ronaldo rebound?

Once this separation is formalized, the question everyone is asking is obvious: where the hell will CR7 bounce? Or rather can he recover? There is already talk of several clubs to recover the 36-year-old striker, which is said “in the shape of his lifeAnd which, according to rumors, would be of interest to PSG, Napoli or Chelsea. However, the possibility of seeing him leave outside Europe cannot be excluded. Even Saudi Arabia would be ready for real follies for him.

PSG

Ah, that good old CR7-PSG rumor. A classic for many years now. With, however, a rather clear trend change. Before, it was Paris that dreamed of Ronaldo. Now it is rather Ronaldo who dreams of Paris. Recently asked about the possibility of Kylian Mbappé signing for Real Madrid, and that PSG decide to fall back on him to play with Lionel Messi in Paris, the Portuguese was clear: “Anything is possible in football. Why not ? Would Paris sell many shirts? Of course.”

If the PSG track is mentioned in the Portuguese media this Wednesday, it is still (very) difficult. What interest, both financially and sportingly, would PSG have in signing CR7 in the middle of the season, with a staff already exhausted, a still impressive salary (about 28 million euros) and a recently renewed Kylian Mbappé? A Messi-Ronaldo-Mbappé-Neymar attack would probably be unheard of in football history, of course. And the idea could also seduce QSI, especially with Ronaldo free from any contract. But today it seems only fantasy and pure fantasy.

Newcastle

There, already, the hypothesis is more credible. The name of the English club is making a persistent comeback in the last few hours, both on the side of Spain (Brand) compared to Italy (Gazzetta dello Sport). Furthermore, according to the transalpine newspaper, the crown prince Mohammed bin Salman would be ready to show off through his Saudi Arabian Sovereign Fund (PIF). The program ? Have him play 6 or 18 months at Newcastle before ending his career at Al-Nassr FC. More than 300 million euros could be put on the table to convince him. “The Portuguese carefully analyzes this proposal, which goes beyond the framework of football (…) He could also be the head of the gondola of the vast ‘Saudi Vision 2023’ project, which aims to place the Saudi economy at the center of that world“, is also specified.

In his interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo confirmed that he turned down an offer from Saudi Arabia last summer: “It was very difficult to refuse, but on the other hand I was very happy here in Manchester and still thought I could score many goals.“, he justified himself to explain his refusal to 350 million euros. But today the situation has changed.

Chelsea

Mentioned during the last summer transfer window, and brought back into the running by the Portuguese press, the Blues have the finances but don’t seem to be exactly sure they want Cristiano Ronaldo. “Chelsea have not planned a possible arrival of CR7″ report the grave Telegraph this Wednesday, explaining that new owner Todd Boehly now has “other goals“on the transfer window, like Christopher Nkunku, Declan Riche or Jude Bellingham.”Signing Ronaldo would give manager Graham Potter a huge choice problem and could create discord in the dressing room“, we can also read Next.

Naples

Here too it gets complicated. If Jorge Mendes would have offered the services of his protégé last summer, in particular promising a sale of Victor Osimhen in more than three figures, nothing would have materialised. And his arrival in the Vesuvian city remains just as difficult four months later. Napoli, a real war machine since the beginning of the season and “best team in Europe” in the words of Jürgen Klopp, he would really have no interest in recruiting Ronaldo.

Bayern Monaco

Is the door still double-locked on the Monaco side? Last July, former goalkeeper and now president Oliver Kahn was clear: “We discussed this topic, otherwise we would not have done our job well. Personally, I think that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers who ever lived on this planet (…) But we have come to the conclusion that, despite all the esteem we have for him, he would not have corresponded to our philosophy in the current situation.”

If he wanted to sign a number 9 in the more or less near future, the rekordmeister does not yet seem ready to make room for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, whose engagement would also affect the club’s finances. Last week, Image had denied a possible meeting between Bayern and Ronaldo, announced by the English press, explaining that the current leader of the Bundesliga is not “interestedOnly the long injury of Sadio Mané could move the ranks.

Return to Portugal, departure for MLS…

Race report: It’s not entirely certain that the Funchal native will join a “big” team down the road. So there are other avenues to consider. For example MLS, with at least three franchises interested and ready to offer him a golden bridge: Los Angeles Galaxy, Los Angeles Football Club and David Beckham’s Inter Miami. “What he does at his age (37) is truly amazing“, the latter confided in May. There is no doubt that he will try to convince him to join him in the United States. “He would be the ideal ambassador for the World Cup organized with Mexico and Canada in 2026“, recalls the Gazzetta dello Sport this wednesday.

For the more romantic, the idea of ​​seeing him close the circle with Sporting Portugal is the most attractive. There everyone will welcome him with open arms, but on condition that he drastically reduces his salaries. “We all love it here, not much to say. He says himself that he wants to do things in peace to follow his future. It’s up to him to decide his future. I’m not going to sit here and tell you how things are for me. Over the summer it has become apparent that not all things go through me. There is the club, there is the structure. He is a Manchester United player“, the coach of the Portuguese club Rúben Amorim replied last week. It was before his separation from the Red Devils. After all, your first love is never forgotten, right?
