Back to basics?

Only, the obstacles for a transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo are not lacking and appear substantial. First of all, Manchester United have no intention of giving him up because new manager Erik ten Hag is counting on him. Then, the tracks evoked move away one by one. Bayern Munich politely rejected the idea of ​​​​an arrival of the Portuguese international and Atlético de Madrid, which the Mancunian club must face on Saturday in a friendly match, did the same.

From then on, CR7 and his entourage studied all the possibilities and the most recent led to Sporting CP, where the player had started his professional career and caught the eye of the Red Devils in 2003 at the age of 18. The Lisbon club ticks a first box because it will compete well in the C1. On the other hand, he seems very far from being financially strong enough to afford such a recruit and his XXL salary.

If the story of a return of the prodigy to his training club could seduce and the welcome of local supporters hoped for as the warmest, the profile of Cristiano Ronaldo also poses a problem. According The Athleticthe characteristics of the 37-year-old striker do not correspond to the expectations of Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim.
