    Cancel my contract, name your price – Ronaldo tells Man Utd

    Portugal international and Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has informed the Old Trafford side that he has received an offer from a club and would love to terminate his contract.

    Ronaldo has now urged United chiefs to name their price for him, so he can trigger a move away.

    The 37-year-old’s claim comes even as top clubs like Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid have distanced themselves from signing him.

    Ronaldo held showdown talks with United this week, alongside his agent Jorge Mendes.

    It is believed Mendes told the club that Ronaldo has a “live offer” and that a transfer fee must be set for his client.

    Ronaldo, alongside his agent Jorge Mendes, has held showdown talks with United’s hierarchy this week – after telling the club of his intentions to leave earlier this summer.

    He only returned to Carrington on Tuesday after missing all of United’s pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia.

    Manchester United is still trying to win the forward over to have him play his remaining one year on the contract.

    Talks have failed to change the 37-year-old’s mind about wishing to leave but he will carry on professionally.

    Meanwhile, the report has it that the five times Balon d’Or winner may be pitching his tent for Italian side Napoli next season in his quest to play Champions League football.

    The 37-year-old returned to the club on Tuesday with his agent, Jorge Mendes, and has made it clear he wants to leave Old Trafford.

    Although, Manchester United have made it clear that they do not have any plans to let me go as there are no suitors for him at this time.

    Talks between Ronaldo’s camp and the club have failed to change his mind about leaving to play in the Champions League, but he will carry on professionally.

    He underwent medical tests and then trained on Wednesday before watching his teammates in a behind-closed-doors friendly match against Wrexham.

    Ronaldo is seemingly dead set on pursuing a 20th consecutive season in the Champions League, which he won’t be able to fulfill at United after they finished sixth in the Premier League last term.

    The team flopped despite the veteran’s best efforts, and the owners disposed of two managers before appointing Ten Hag this summer.

    Meanwhile, Ronaldo hasn’t revealed any plans or his next move concerning the destination that he’s headed should his Manchester United contract be canceled.

     

  • Serie A: Paulo Dybala breaks Ronaldo’s shirt record at AS Roma

    Serie A: Paulo Dybala breaks Ronaldo’s shirt record at AS Roma

    Argentine forward and new AS Roma acquisition, Paulo Dybala, has set a new record for shirt sales after his free transfer to the Conference League champions.

    Dybala has now beaten Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for most shirt sales after his free transfer to Jose Mourinho’s side.

    Roma fans have shown their appreciation for Dybala’s signing with a huge reaction in shirt sales.

    According to Corriere Dello Sport, the Argentine international has even managed to surpass the number of shirts that Juventus sold after Ronaldo’s signing back in 2018.

    The measurements are based on how many respective jerseys both clubs sold on the day after the announcement of the purchase.

    While the reports don’t contain figures, it is believed Dybala just edges out Ronaldo, who he played alongside at Juventus for three years.

    Paulo Exequiel Dybala is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Roma and the Argentina national team. Nicknamed “La Joya”, Dybala began his senior club career in 2011 playing for Instituto de Córdoba, before signing for Palermo in 2012, at age 18, where he won a Serie B title.

    Bundesliga: Bayern Munich turn down C. Ronaldo’s bid

    The Portuguese was offered to the LaLiga giants despite his history with their bitter rivals Real Madrid.

    Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United after just signing last season for the English club side.

    The five times Ballon d’Or winner is yet to return to training and pre-season games for the Red Devils.

    But the 37-year-old’s exit strategy has become increasingly desperate

    Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has offered him to top European clubs but has been unable to find a buyer for the striker.

    The player was rejected by Atletico Madrid because they cannot afford to fund the transfer because of their financial situation, while Real Madrid have no intention of re-signing him.

    Spanish radio station Cope has outlined how Mendes even sensationally offered his client to Barcelona this summer but received a negative response.

    That Ronaldo would rather play for the Catalan club next season rather than United speaks volumes of his intentions to leave.

    Atletico Madrid remains a favourable option for the forward despite being the fierce rivals of former club Real Madrid. The 37-year-old has grown frustrated at United after shouldering much of the responsibility last season.
