Ronaldo Linked With Mega Pogba Swap Deal
12 December, 2020
Juventus and Manchester United could reportedly be enthusiastic about a mega swap deal involving Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Red Devils are understood to be keen to market Pogba following the latest controversial comments from his agent Mino Raiola earlier this week.
The outspoken super-agent insisted that his client's time at United is over, with the Premier League side seemingly readying themselves to profit from him before his contract expires in June 2022.
According to Miguel Delaney, chief football article writer for The Independent, a swap package including Pogba and Ronaldo could possibly be on the cards.
"Talking to people during the week because I am doing something about the Paul Pogba situation, which is linked to Ronaldo, and the fact that Juventus may be interested in a swap," he told The Football Ramble's On The Continent show.
"It's not impossible. Linked to all that was the view that, ultimately, Juventus want to install this collective idea of football.
"They tried it with (prior manager Maurizio) Sarri, now they're trying conduct it with (current manager Andrea) Pirlo, but that is almost impossible to accomplish while Ronaldo will there be, for the reason that way he plays, he simply just doesn't really match that collective approach.
"Now, obviously that had not been a problem in all when he was at his absolute maximum, however now it means, a lot more than ever, Juventus need to play a certain way."
Up to now, the Bianconeri have dismissed all rumours that Ronaldo could keep the club before his agreement expires in 2022, although the Serie A giants are believed to be thinking about a reunion with Pogba.
