Cristiano Ronaldo Transfer News LIVE: Can Big Teams manage to buy Man United’s Poster boy?
Mr. Champions League needs UCL football
One of Cristiano’s main demands to join a new club is Champions League football as Man United crashed out of the UCL last season and qualified in sixth place in the Premier League to earn a Europa League spot. He is renowned as Mr. Champions League as he always delivers in the competition having won the competition 5 times. With just a few years left in him, he wouldn’t want to play in the Europa League competition to suffice his ego.

Which teams can afford Cristiano Ronaldo’s salary?
A report claims Ronaldo has been left ‘upset’ by the reduction of player salaries [25%] as a result of their failure to attain Champions League football. When he penned a deal at Old Trafford, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner agreed a £480,000-a-week contract with the club but this season, he would be set to earn a salary of £360,000 as United play in the Europa League.
Out of the teams qualified for Champions League only Bayern Munich, Chelsea, PSG, Juventus and Real Madrid can afford his salary. Ronaldo is regarded as one of the most ambitious players in modern football and therefore playing for teams such as Napoli, Roma might not fancy his legacy.
Bayern legend Lothar Matthaus says, “Ronaldo to Bayern would be sexy! but as much as I appreciate Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the greatest, a transfer would not fit into our philosophy.”
Cristiano Ronaldo’s current value
United paid Juventus an initial €15m (£12.86m) plus a potential €8m (£6.86m) in add-ons for the Portugal forward during his reunion back with Manchester United but he is currently valued at £13m by Chelsea according to reports.
As per Transfermarkt, they value Ronaldo at around £27m, which is nearly £10m more than what the CIES Football Observatory state his current market value is in their estimation. Nevertheless, if a £14m proposal was to be accepted, Boehly could save a potential £13m on a transfer swoop for the Portuguese icon.
An ageing Ronaldo
Despite the team having an extremely poor season, Ronaldo who is 37-years-old had a decent campaign on a individual level. He ended the season as the club’s top goal scorer with 24 goals across all competitions, his 18 Premier League goals were only bettered by joint Golden Boot winner Son Heung Min and Mohamed Salah. Ronaldo was also named in the PFA Team of The Year. But how many more years can he carry on with this consistency?
