Italian press reports revealed that Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo is looking for a new club to move to in the current summer transfer season
Ronaldo had returned to the Red Devils again, last summer, after his departure from Juventus, where he signed a contract until June 2023
And the Italian newspaper “La Repubblica” reported that Cristiano Ronaldo is looking for a new home for him, not that which will be built for 17 million pounds in Cascais, but a new team and a new start
She explained that Ronaldo risks finding himself a guest on a project he will not be part of, and that is the new coach of Manchester United, Eric Ten Hag
Project Ten Hag relies on Dutch football, running, possession, teamwork and humility, which are hard to find in Ronaldo’s dictionary
Not only that, but there is also Manchester United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League, Ronaldo’s favorite tournament, which represents a crisis for the Portuguese
The newspaper pointed out that for these reasons, Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes is working to find a new team for the 37-year-old, but there is a problem as to who can obtain his services this summer
The age of Cristiano Ronaldo and his salary, which is 23 million euros per season, is a problem for any club that wants to include him, especially for major European clubs that suffer from financial problems
And the newspaper reported that Juventus will not be able to restore Ronaldo’s services for sure, not Inter Milan or Milan, on the other hand, those who need rapid growth can find their own starting point in Cristiano
For this reason, there are those in Rome who started whispering this name, because after one year of coach Jose Mourinho, the Portuguese will represent a new high, because no one will enhance the club’s image like him, knowing that by June 30 the player will continue to benefit from the tax advantage that It will allow him to pay only 100,000 euros in taxes on income from activities abroad
Jorge Mendes also has distinguished relations with Roma officials, after Mourinho brought them Rui Patricio and Sergio Oliveira, and a distinguished relationship with his compatriot Thiago Pinto, Wolves sporting director, since the Benfica period
Although Ronaldo is no longer the highest-paid player in the world, Roma cannot afford his salary at the moment, and also because he will not be able to benefit from a growth decree that would at least slash the cost of taxes in half
Roma are already in trouble with UEFA regarding financial fair play, as there is no agreement on a settlement agreement and there is some concern about it
The only solution may be for Manchester United to be heavily involved in Ronaldo’s salary, but another problem is that Roma are in the Europa League, which is not an attractive competition for Cristiano
The newspaper added that the most reliable rumors about his relationship with Mourinho should be taken into account, since the days of Real Madrid the relationship was not entirely perfect, to put it mildly
And she continued her report, saying that this might suggest a different choice for Ronaldo, returning to Sporting Lisbon, the team through which he started, and all conditions will be favorable for him there
Sporting will participate in the Champions League, unlike Roma and United, and club president Frederico Varandas promised his fans: “One day Cristiano will return to us
That’s why he also tried to mend the strained relations between the club and Mendes, from the time of Bruno Fernandes’ affair with Manchester United, so Cristiano can get close to his mother Dolores, who has already announced that she has asked her son to see him in the Portuguese team’s shirt again
