Cristiano Ronaldo has asked to leave Manchester
United if club receives a satisfactory offer this summer, according to football
transfer journalist, Fabrizio Romano. Goal can also confirm that.
Twelve years after leaving for Real Madrid, the
Portuguese superstar made a return to Old Trafford in August of last year.
Although Ronaldo had a good season in terms of
goal scoring, with 24 goals in 38 games across all competitions, this output is
a long cry from the absurd standards that he often sets for himself.
And it is his ambition to play in the Uefa
Champions that has inspired his decision to urge Manchester United to let him
leave should they get a 'satisfactory offer' this summer, as reported by The
Times.
Ronaldo has participated in the Champions League
for the last 19 seasons in a row and has scored 140 goals for Real Madrid in
183 games played in the tournament.
The attacker who once played for Juventus
'believes he has three or four years remaining at the best level' and wants to
spend those years playing for a team that can match his level of desire.
He "no longer sees his future at
Old Trafford." following the club's tumultuous 2021/22 season, which saw
the firing of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the hiring of Ralf Rangnick, and
then, the scrapping of plans for Rangnick to become a consultant in
Manchester.
Ronaldo's contract will be up for renewal the
following summer, and Chelsea and Bayern Munich have been said to be interested
in making a bid for him during the summer transfer window.
Unless Robert Lewandowski decides to leave Bayern,
the German club is not likely to make an offer since Barcelona is highly
interested in signing the Polish striker.
Last month, representatives for Cristiano Ronaldo
met with Todd Boehly, a co-owner of Chelsea, which sparked rumours of a
stunning transfer to the west London club.
There has also been talk of a possible return to
Serie A. Although Roma, managed by Jose Mourinho, has surfaced as a possible
destination for Ronaldo, the club will not be able to provide him with
Champions League play in the 22/23 season.
After some time had passed, the trustworthy
journalist David Ornstein verified the report. Ornstein said in an article he
wrote for The Athletic that Napoli are one among the clubs 'interested' in
signing the player who once played for Sporting Lisbon.
Bayern "have been briefed about his
position," while Paris Saint-Germain are out of the race for the player in
question.
Cristiano Ronaldo told Man United he wants to leave this summer as he wants to see more ambition. Man Utd are still hopeful of keeping CR7, but aware of decision. 🚨🇵🇹 #Ronaldo
