Man Utd 'In Talks' With Ronaldo
24 April, 2021
Manchester United have "opened talks" with Cristiano Ronaldo over a sensational Old Trafford return, according to reports.
Ronaldo's future at Juventus remains uncertain, with several publications stating that both parties could possibly be seeking to end their time together.
As the Bianconeri are said to be keen to obtain the Portugal talisman off their wage bill, Ronaldo is believed to feel that he must move on to be able to have a chance at lifting another UEFA Champions League trophy.
La Gazzetta dello Sport has now reported that United have made connection with Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes regarding a sensational go back to England for the player.
The former Real Madrid attacker became a household name during his time with the Premier League giants between 2003 and 2009, during which he won his first Ballon d'Or and the Champions League, and claimed nine trophies overall.
Having scored 118 goals in 292 appearances for the Red Devils previously, he could end up being the Manchester club's new center point in attack, with Edinson Cavani understood to be set on leaving and Anthony Martial not scoring enough goals.
Ronaldo in addition has been linked with a return to Real, but Los Blancos president Florentino Perez eliminated such a reunion this week, telling El Larguero: "The rumours of Ronaldo's return to Madrid are rumours from his entourage. There is nothing."
He'll only have twelve months left on his contract by the end of the 2020/21 campaign, and Juve have reportedly set his price tag at only €25 million (R430 million).
