The tam tam continues, net of denials, reversals and twists. Really Cristiano Ronaldo was offered left and right? Are Paris Saint Germain really going to try and buy it? For now we have only the version of the entourage, which denies the intention to leave, as well as that of Cristiano Ronaldo himself, who has repeatedly said he wants to win the third Scudetto with Juventus. All linear, also because when he left Real Madrid CR7 he had already made it known, publicly, to change the air. As for Messi, therefore, the suggestions appear to be only such.
Also because where could Cristiano Ronaldo go to play? Apart from being an icon of our time, as for Messi (in fact), who would want to pay the net salary of 31 million euros for a new 35 year old? There are very few clubs, from Paris Saint Germain to Manchester United, or Real Madrid itself. Liverpool are to be discarded, probably also City for a matter of rivalry, Barcelona. Or Klopp’s Liverpool, with its fantastic strikers. Net of exotic destinations, PSG would be the simplest situation. But there are Neymar and Mbappé, two stars of the first magnitude who would risk being overshadowed by the arrival of a Cristiano Ronaldo which usually means goals, entertainment and a few covers for the other teammates.
Juventus wants to modernize. But the dichotomy is quite evident. Can Portuguese and Dybala coexist? In the right moments, Ronaldo cannibalized Kakà and Bale, but found a good side in Isco. Less striker than the Argentine, more pure attacking midfielder, used to passing the ball and not finishing. Ronaldo is a company and as such Juve would have wanted an increase in turnover which, at the moment, exists and is not there. Do you want for Covid, or for other reasons, but the CR7 effect is probably over.
