Manchester United would make Kylian Mbappé their priority to compensate for the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Red Devils club could get closer to the PSG player in the coming weeks.
According to information collected by the Mirror, Manchester United have put the name of Kylian Mbappé at the top of their shortlist, to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. The tabloid understands that the Portuguese’s interview put a premature end to his second adventure with the Red Devils. And the Mancunian leaders would have wasted no time in checking the profiles of the attackers likely to succeed him: the Parisian, who would like to leave Paris, would be their top priority.
The media specifies that Manchester United is able to finance his transfer by investing more than 170 million euros. The English team could offer him the same salary as Cristiano Ronaldo received, namely around 33 million euros per year. However, it is not obvious that this is enough to convince the native of Bondy, who would be particularly coveted by Liverpool. The French would pocket the trifle of 70 million euros at PSG, without the bonuses… Manchester United would also think of Victor Osimhen (Naples).
Ronaldo will not give 1 euro as a gift to Manchester United
For his part, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to leave Manchester United in January. TdF understands that the tensions with the leaders are such that he does not plan to give a gift of the least euro to his leaders. If the information is verified, the Red Devils will have to pay him around 15 million, an amount that he will not be able to reinvest to recruit or pay the salary of his replacement.
As a reminder, Cristiano Ronaldo could be fined more than 1 million euros, following his rowdy interview. The player has only scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 16 appearances, in all competitions, this season: at 37, he does not seem in a strong position to find another club.
