The circulating photo of Ronaldo wearing Bayern Munich’s jersey is digitally edited. The original photo was published by the official Instagram account of the German team, Bayern Munich, on June 23, as can be seen below. The photo shows the new player of the team, Sadio Mané, who signed a three-year contract with Bayern Munich that will keep him at the club until 2025.
Ronaldo As a Replacement for Lewandowski
After Robert Lewandowski's departure to Barcelona, it was frequently claimed that Bayern's managers considered Ronaldo as a potential Lewandowski replacement. However, the club has denied this claim twice.
Over the last week, rumors about Ronaldo's transfer to Bayern Munich rose once again. The claim persuaded the club to publicly refute any interest in the player, especially after signing with the former Liverpool player, Sadio Mané.
Hasan Salihamidzic, the club's sports director, provided an update on the player's future to Sport1, “I have a lot of respect for Cristiano Ronaldo, his successes and his career. But once again: That was and is not a topic for us.”
Also, neither Bayern Munich nor Cristiano Ronaldo official accounts have shared any news about the transfer.
Robert Lewandowski’s Transfer to Barcelona
The claim began circulating following Bayern's approval of Barcelona's offer for the transfer of the Polish football player, Robert Lewandowski, to the Spanish club, Barcelona.
Bayern Munich president, Herbert Hainer, confirmed on Saturday, July 16, 2022, that Bayern Munich has a verbal agreement in place with Barcelona for the transfer of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona. The president expressed his gratitude to Robert Lewandowski in a tweet.
Will Jorge Mendes Help Ronaldo Join Bayern Munich?
There has been no official announcement regarding Ronaldo's transfer to another club. Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is in a difficult situation after Ronaldo insisted on leaving Manchester United due to the club’s failure to compete in the 2022 Champions League.
Ronaldo wants to complete his career with a team capable of competing for big awards and the Champions League.
If Ronaldo is unable to find a new club this summer, he will have to stay at Manchester United and play in the Europa League for the first time since he was a teenager, playing for Sporting Lisbon.
