Cristiano Ronaldo apparently ignites the next level in the exit poker with Manchester United. According to the Daily Mail, the 37-year-old has informed his current club that he wants to terminate his contract in order to make a move this summer on a free transfer.
However, the Red Devils continue to take the view that Ronaldo is by no means for sale – so the premature termination of the contract for the English record champions, which is still valid until 2023, is not an issue. There is currently no request or concrete offer for Ronaldo.
The superstar has been back in Manchester since Tuesday after canceling the pre-season tour due to family reasons. Ronaldo underwent mandatory medicals and trained on Wednesday before watching his team-mates play Wrexham in a friendly.
Kein Club will Cristiano Ronaldo
Jorge Mendes was also present at the recent exchange. Ronaldo’s advisor is on the road a lot these days, offering his strong clients to any top club. Without success: No club has bitten so far, which has something to do with Ronaldo’s high salary of 29 million euros.
Ronaldo is reportedly willing to give up 30 percent of his current income to make the move. Even if he were willing to give up, there would still be over 20 million left after deduction.
United coach Erik ten Hag, who has repeatedly emphasized that selling Ronaldo is not an issue, said of the first exchange: “It was a good meeting, but everything remains between Cristiano and me. But I can confirm that the exchange was really good.”
