Some possible destinations for Cristiano Ronaldo with spotlight on his future
With Juve’s finances under pressure in the pandemic and the 36-year-old’s hefty wages one of the major issues, a summer move cannot be ruled out.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s future is in the spotlight as the summer transfer window approaches, with Juventus reported to be seeking to cash in on the Portugal forward.
Ronaldo has himself tried to play down speculation, insisting “this story is still far from being over” as he paid tribute to Pele while acknowledging his record 770th official goal.
But with Juve’s finances under pressure in the pandemic and the 36-year-old’s hefty wages one of the major issues, a summer move cannot be ruled out.
Here, the PA news agency looks at four potential destinations for Ronaldo.
Real Madrid
Manchester United
No club is immune to the impact of the pandemic but thanks to their ever-eager commercial department, Manchester United are coping better than most and may fancy a move for a player who made his name at Old Trafford after joining way back in 2003. While the focus is on signing younger players, United have had success with adding experienced forwards in recent years, most obviously with Zlatan Ibrahimovic but also this season with Edinson Cavani despite some fitness issues. United would probably be the only Premier League club to truly interest Ronaldo, who had his run-ins with Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho when both were in Madrid.
Sporting Lisbon
Inter Miami
