Cristiano Ronaldo’s second-spell at Manchester United looks to be over, with the 37-year-old reportedly seeking a fresh challenge, despite having only returned to Old Trafford last summer in a £12.9 million ($15.6m) move from Juventus.
The Portuguese talisman is keen to play in the Champions League, something his current employers cannot offer, with Europa League football on the agenda next season for Erik ten Hag’s side.
Ronaldo is hopeful the club will not stand in his way should they receive a satisfactory offer. After netting 24 goals in 38 games last campaign, including 18 in the PremierLeague, he was the third-highest scorer in the English top flight, showing he still has what it takes at the top.
So, where could he end up? It would certainly be a surprise to see Ronaldo plying his trade in a Sky Blue shirt, but stranger things have happened.
