Whether the arrival of Max Allegri will change anything for Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus remains to be seen, but the general consensus is that the Portuguese superstar wants to leave Italy.
That’s been discussed many times in column inches over the past few weeks, and it came as no surprise when Manchester United got dragged into the matter almost immediately.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer didn’t help when he said he wouldn’t mind working with Ronaldo again, and the idea has lingered ever since.
Gazzetta dello Sport look at the situation on Friday and explain that Paris Saint-Germain might be the best best for the Portugal international, although Jorge Mendes, his agent, has given the prospect of moving him back to Old Trafford a good go and a good amount of thought.
They state the super agent ‘has had contact with the English club, who would gladly welcome him back, but cannot afford such an expensive operation’, with it mentioned his wages would need to be lowered for anything to take place.
Furthermore, the fact Edinson Cavani is staying is another reason why a Ronaldo return at Manchester United would be difficult.
It’s stated his dream would be a return to Real Madrid, but even Florentino Pérez doesn’t feel like that’s a good idea.
Who knows? Crazy things happen every day in football, but it would be a real surprise if the Red Devils, who have tried to veer away from signing big names for the sake of doing so over the past couple of years, decided to go through with this.
