Vision of a season without participation in the Champions League? Something unimaginable for star Ronaldo. According to the British media, the Portuguese even had to ask the management of Manchester United for the opportunity to leave the club. This news suddenly flew around the entire football world, the smitten interested parties suddenly took notice and a large flock of vultures is circling around the five-time winner of the Golden Ball.
Representatives from all corners of Europe threw the lasso. In recent days, information has surfaced that Barcelona should also be interested in the services of the 37-year-old forward. The courtship with the player’s agent, which took place at the beginning of the week, was also confirmed by the president of the Catalan club, Joan Laporta. “On Monday, Jorge Mendes (agent) and I had dinner together and we talked in general about the market situation,” Laporta began.

“Cristiano? I won’t talk about the specific players we discussed at the meeting, but it’s always good to know what names are currently on the market,” added the 60-year-old president, who on Wednesday presented Barcelona’s first two summer signings – Franck Kessié from AC Milan and Andreas Christensen from Chelsea.
Thirty-seven-year-old Ronaldo, who wore the White Ballet jersey for nine seasons, could take care of one of the biggest, but also the most spicy transfers in football history if he moves to the Catalan capital. The transfer to the rival would not be rejected by the fans of the Madrid team, who do not even want to imagine the Portuguese star in the jersey of another team of the Spanish La Liga.
Interest is also growing from London’s Chelsea. Her recent offer was immediately dismissed by the “Red Devils”, but according to reports from the British media, the team from the capital of England is preparing another proposal, which includes 14 million pounds (approximately 402 million crowns).
The situation surrounding the future of the Portuguese forward arouses enormous attention in the Islands. In recent days, Ronaldo shocked by not participating in the first training units of Manchester United before the new season. Reason for absence? Family reasons. However, Ronaldo is apparently preparing individually in Lisbon, where he lives with his family.
