“Again? He’s 38 years old”- Real Madrid President Florentino Perez shuts the door for Cristiano Ronaldo’s fairy tale return to Los Blancos
Follow Us
Given that Manchester United will not be participating in the Champions League this year, Cristiano Ronaldo’s future is still a hotly debated subject. Several teams are said to have expressed interest in the striker, but none have reportedly made a serious effort to sign the 37-year-old.
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have both been mentioned as potential destinations for Ronaldo, but MARCA has repeatedly stated that neither club were interested in signing the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
Even so, some Los Blancos supporters would welcome Ronaldo’s return to the team. When Florentino Perez passed by, a small group of supporters who were lodged in the same hotel as the European champions in Helsinki raised their voices.
Perez appeared to disregard their initial request when the group pleaded with him to bring Ronaldo back to the team. However, Perez only turned around after he was questioned again. He responded, “Who?” and then he sneered, “Cristiano? Again? He’s 38 years old.”
With his future still undecided, it’s unclear where Ronaldo will play this season. Although United are adamant that they are relying on him this year, the absence of Champions League football raises some concerns. The fact that a return to Real Madrid is unlikely to happen is all but certain.
Manchester United’s all-time top-scorer Wayne Rooney wants Red Devils to let Cristiano Ronaldo leave
Manchester United should permit Cristiano Ronaldo to leave before the transfer deadline, according to Wayne Rooney, the all-time leading scorer for United. Although potential suitors have not surfaced, Portugal international Ronaldo is widely reported to be pushing for a transfer out of Old Trafford in order to keep playing in the Champions League.
“I think United should let Cristiano Ronaldo go, It’s not that Ronaldo can’t play in a Ten Hag team. He can play in any team. Ronny will always score you goals. But my personal view is that United aren’t ready to challenge for the title now, so the aim has to be to build a team that can win the league in the next three to four years, and you have to plan for that,” he wrote in the Times.
“If the reports are true that Cristiano wants to leave the club, then United should allow him to go and get a number nine in who is going to be there for the next three or four years and really help them build a team that can be successful. Ten Hag has to be given time to do it.”
