The recent controversial interview with Cristiano Ronaldo, where the Portuguese knocks out his club, Manchester United, his coach, Erik ten Hag, even former Mancunian players like Wayne Rooney or Gary Neville, seems to have a goal: to allow the striker 37-year-old to leave the Red Devils as soon as possible.
Cristiano Ronaldo even hopes to terminate his contract with Manchester United after the 2022 World Cup, while the five-time Ballon d’Or is tied until June 2023 with the current 5th in the Premier League. The English club is a priori agreed to terminate the lease of the former Real Madrid player, it now remains for Cristiano Ronaldo to find a club wishing to welcome him.
Quoted on the side of Bayern Munich, the international with 191 selections should not join the leader of the Bundesliga. Instead, Cristiano Ronaldo could actually join Newcastle United, which is having a very good season (3rd in the Premier League). It is indeed the hope of the Portuguese clan, which offered to the English club, according to the DailyMail.
Ronaldo to Newcastle or… PSG?
Like last summer in almost all the clubs playing the C1, Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, offered his player to Newcastle who, despite being extremely wealthy thanks to the PIF, spends his money in a rather reasonable way, with a certain sporting success so far. With the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, the English club could associate a very big star with his project, while for his part, the Portuguese could not lose too much in salary, while Newcastle seem to have the means to pay him his high emoluments ( approximately 26M annually).
The other club mentioned, this time by Sky Germany, is PSG. The French club has always watched with interest the 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017 Ballon d’Or, without ever recruiting him. That said, with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé in the squad, it seems complicated to do so now, especially since, according to Sky Germanythe Mancunian’s compatriot and PSG sporting director, Luis Campos, would not necessarily be open to recruiting Cristiano Ronaldo in January 2023.
