Will Ronaldo Be Able to Leave Manchester United?
Cristiano Ronaldo’s future is stuck in a difficult situation. The Portuguese player has been searching for offers from top clubs that compete in the 2022 Champions League, but no serious club has been involved in talks.
Despite rumors that he could replace Robert Lewandowski at Bayern Munich, the German club shut out a potential transfer. Hasan Salihamidzic, Bayern Munich sports director, told 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, Thomas Tuchel, the head coach of Chelsea seemed to not be interested in Ronaldo joining the club, after responding to Sky Sports News’s reporter regarding the possibility of hiring a new striker, “I would not rule it out, but it is not the priority.”
Ronaldo has a contract with the Red Devils until June 2023, with an option to extend it for a further year. Cristiano Ronaldo will remain at Manchester United if no official offers are made by top clubs.
