There has been speculation since the end of last season that Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Manchester United, and recent reports suggest it is close to being a reality.

Valdon does not want to play in the European League next season with the "Red Devils" and is looking for a way out.

And according to the British newspaper, The Times, the Portuguese star asked Manchester United to facilitate his departure if the club received a satisfactory offer.

According to press sources, about the environment close to Ronaldo, the latter has no problem to play under the management of the new coach of the Dutch team, Eric Tan Hag, but he feels that the club did not make the effort to sign players from the first row to return to the podiums next season.

The sources confirm that Manchester United categorically refuses to dispense with Ronaldo or allow him to leave, and that the "Madeira missile" is part of the team's plans for the next season.

Ronaldo, 37, with a market value of 30 million euros, wants to play for a team that competes in the Champions League next season.

This cannot be achieved with "Germany", not even with his favorite coach Jose Mourinho in Rome or in Newcastle.

Therefore, it seems that Chelsea and Sporting Lisbon are the main candidates for his signature.

Another team in the Premier League

It is said that the new owner of Chelsea Todd Boley met Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes recently, the "Blues" abandoned the Belgian Romelu Lukaku, loaned to Inter Milan, and therefore wants to sign a striker to replace him in the summer Mercato.

However, does Ronaldo want to sever his relationship with United fans completely by signing a direct rival to United?

Link with Mourinho

Mourinho is keen to reunite him with the striker he coached at Real Madrid, and their relationship in the Spanish capital has not always been rosy, and Roma will also play in the Europa League instead of the Champions League.

back home

The most romantic option for him would be to return to Sporting, the club with which he made his professional debut.

Lisbon sporting director Hugo Viana did not close the door for the club's son to return.

Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, or Real Madrid?

And there are still rumors about Ronaldo joining one of the top Europeans.

It seems that Ronaldo's joining Bayern Munich as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski is completely logical, but it is far from the truth, as Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic denied such words.

Other clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid could make room for him.

However, it does not appear that the Portuguese star is in the plans of either of them.
