Shocking reports continue about the crisis of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo with his Manchester United team this season, the latest of which is the club's desire to get rid of him for free in the upcoming winter transfers, and the Turkish club Galatasaray asked to negotiate to include him in its ranks.
After an acceptable season spent by Ronaldo with United, the arrival of the new coach, Eric Ten Hag, radically changed his situation, and went from bad to worse after he became a permanent guest on the bench, until he was excluded from facing Chelsea and training with the club's youth team, after he left the field. Before the end of the Tottenham match last Wednesday.
And according to a report by the American sports network, ESPN, yesterday, Saturday, the Glazer family, owner of Manchester United, decided to get rid of the Portuguese star next January in the winter transfers, even if it was for free, whether by selling or loaning him to any other club. A team that bears its high salary of half a million pounds a week, strains United's budget and represents the biggest obstacle in the way of teams that may want to include him.
In the midst of these events, the Spanish newspaper “MARCA” quoted the Turkish press as saying that Galatasaray had expressed its desire to meet Jorge Mendes, Ronaldo’s agent, to discuss the possibility of him joining the team, which is currently ranked seventh in the Turkish League.
The Turkish team had already tried to sign Ronaldo in the previous summer transfers, but failed to reach an agreement that would settle the deal.
But in light of the few offers that may be offered to the player, Galatasaray hopes to include Ronaldo, who was the best player in the world for several years.
Ronaldo's contract with Manchester United expires at the end of the current season, with a clause allowing the club to extend the contract.
