He's got enough money for 10 of his lives not only one lifetime!

If he really ever wanted to come back here it was always up to him but not at those astronomical figures.

Not saying he isn’t a legend, but the pedestal he gets placed on over guys like Rooney and Keane is disgraceful considering he had like 3 outstanding seasons before leaving.

In which he was the main reason why United was the strongest team in Europe, and likely the strongest United ever. Also, he got the first Ballon D'Or a United player got since Best 40 years before.

I think its time even for the big Cristiano fans to start accepting the fact he is human, its simply impossible to keep the same levels for so many years.

well he's 33 and he just scored 44 goals and led RM to another CL victory and looks as fit as ever, there's no reason why he cant score 40 goals again next season.

Juventus are a really smart team. Their marketing department and how they have modernized their team is impressive.

Always very impressed with their recruitment. This would be breaking the mould for them but you can see him being incredibly effective as a number 9 for them in their system. Whereas with United it hurts you head to think of fitting all our best players in the same team.

Agreed

I think they knew United wouldn't be stupid enough to be 'played' again, or that United would publicly deny it, so they've had to link Ronnie with another big club with love goggles who'll fall for it.

It'll end like it always does.
 
Lots of talk about a €30m offer from Madrid, which is what he was after this entire time. A transfer of this magnitude requires so many pieces to fall into place, first and foremost the buying club has to plan their wage bill and budget to even contemplate the idea of signing him. Even if the planning is done, they have to actually sell some of their big earners to make space for him. Then at the other end of the stick Madrid need to find a replacement to replicate the sheer volume of goals he scores which in itself is impossible.

Why go through all of that when you can raise your offer by €5m more and have his services for few more years? He'll end up staying put.
 
They are saying he wants €30m after tax. Would bet my left ball Juve aren't paying that.
 
"Cristiano has been looking for a house in Turin for two weeks". This saga needed a real estate gossip
 
If he went to Juventus and won them CL, maybe he will top Messi in goat discussion - right now it’s more or less even.

Those scales have already tipped in Ronaldo's favour following the 3 UCL's in a row and Euro 2016 wins but yeah lets not bring the Messi v Ronaldo debate in here - could get messy

He already succeeds in that. Proved it at Sporting, Man Utd, Real, & Portugal, whilst Messi has only proved himself at Barcelona surrounded by quality players. I know he has scored many goals for Argentina but never really made the difference in major trophies unlike Ronaldo & Maradona.

What are we missing now, to make it complete?

-"Has told his teammates he's off."
-A photo of him with some suits in a cafe.
-A "leaked" photo of Ronaldo's no 7 shirt at Juve.

If that amount is after tax then it amounts to 60 million cost for the club. Only Arab oil money would likely pay those obscene amounts.

Haha yes,and perhaps some ambiguous post in Instagram,or an interview to his mother in A Bola
 
Hope he goes to Juve. Will be interesting to see how much he tears it up.

I'd find him more likeable, and would find Madrid even more dislikable if he leaves - which I'm all for.

I've said it a few times. Madrid have made the CL a bit stale now, winning it three times in a row have taken the gloss of it personally. They've made it look easy.

European football needs a shake up.
Ronaldo leaving Madrid for a new challenge would certainly do that.
 
Any chance we would go in for him and if yes, would Ronaldo be interested in coming back home?

I get that and maybe Madrid are looking at the long game but Ronaldo will score 40 goals again next season wherever he plays, his age is having little impact on his current performances.
 
Oh wow, I haven't heard this story before. He should have gone for something more realistic though - like PSG.

They probably would have been forced to deny it because they have FFP over their heads a bit. And it would have created increased speculation on Mbappe/Neymar

That's fair enough.

For me though the only reason you'd sell Ronaldo now is to get a long term replacement because no matter who they spend 100m on to replace him they wont produce the same numbers.

Real Madrid? There are a lot of good players who can improve their team. Its the right time to start a mini rebuilding mode under Lopetegui. I don't even think the 2 would have a good relation between them. Better for both if he leaves.

No striker no matter the age will come in next season and be better than Ronaldo though that's the bottom line isn't it. I mean they're winning nothing last season if Ronaldo isn't at Madrid and that will be the case next year.

you on the wind up here, hardly done anything for Sporting, and was good in like one of the games at the euro's and was poor the rest, just because the country won it, was not all down to him. if an Argentina player had put his penalty away at won stage then he would have a Copa America to his name.
 
Peyroteo said:
If this happened because 30 million per year was too high for Ronaldo and last summer Mbappe didn't go to Madrid because of his wages, would Perez really be willing to pay 300 million on a transfer plus 40 million a year for Neymar?
Click to expand...
300 in fee and 60 gross per year for Neymar. Yes he would. The main reason he don't wanna pay Cristiano 30 is 'cause of his age. The offer we made goes beyond that with bonuses, and the bonuses are performance related. Personally i don't like the idea of owing a 35/36 years old upwards of €40m('20/'21, current deal). Would gladly give him 100 milion for the next season, and then a much reduced wage(no more than 20m) with heavy performance related bonuses for the last 3(say 20+40 gross)

I'd be sad if he leaves. I'd be livid if Flo caves

Don't think so. We're not gonna cave. And I don't think he will either, even if nobody offers him what he wants

4 league goals in the first 14 games. Last season was similar. Age is already having an impact

First 14 games? so what he finished the season on 44 goals and thats what matters. If he performed better in those first 14 games he would have had about 60 goals.....some huge decline that, Jesus.

Everybody wanking over Mbappe, Salah, Neymar with Ronaldo apparently in decline.....all whilst still outperforming the lot of them, winning Ballon 'dor and helping Madrid to another CL win.

33 year old past it Ronaldo still makes the third best footballer in the world Neymar look pretty average in comparison, pretty scary shit.

Don't agree.

My point is I don't see any problem with what he does at 33, but even playing for Portugal I can see he can't do the same things he did 3 years ago. Nothing wrong with that, but would be very surprised if he can keep the same level for more than 2 years.

When I say same level, its Champions League level or International level, for me he should retire from the NT after 2020, don't want to hear the nonsense he will be on Qatar, some sort of portuguese version of Roger Milla. :lol:

Thats yet to be seen but he's literally just broke a CL record with 15 goals didn't he? he also had a decent world cup surrounded by a very average Portugal side, he can't carry them through every tournament the squad is terrible.

Meh lets agree to disagree, for me he's 33 and still performing at the top level, a level no other player is even close too.

Sorry but I don't believe on the mantra if he retires the team will not beat anyone, actually I think he sometimes makes the other players look average because everyone wants to play for him, not to mention we have to play a 4x4x2 just to take the best out of him. Quite frankly I want him gone after 2020, don't like Messiahs on the team.

Do you think he would accept a lesser role/status if it meant prolonging his international career? With his level of fitness, he could still do a job for you in 2022 (half an hour here or there to either win a match or help see it out).

No, it's really not. By December we were out of the title race in the league. Scoring 44 goals is all well and good, but when only 20 of those actually matter...

Going from 60 to 44 IS a decline, no matter how badly you want to pretend it's not

Not the point. He's 33, he's a visibly inferior player than what he was 5 years ago, his body doesn't hold up for more than half the season. And we're supposed to commit 60 millions for him for his age 33-34-35-36-37 seasons? He's already slowing down -big time compared to his best days- what happens if he has a cliff? What would we do with say 120 millions committed to a guy who's no longer good enough to sit on the bench? At the end of the day the club has to protect itself and its interests

What if next season he falls off a cliff? Or the season after? Whose gonna take him off our hands?


Giving those kinds of wages to a player his age is huge risk. We're already taking a big risk with the current deal, and we're willing to give him a raise and an extra year. But he wants more guaranteed money than that. Well, if he finds someone willing to give him what he wants, we'll let him go. We're real madrid, we'll survive without him

No, that's my main problem, don't see him doing a Klose for us in 2022, I think its time to start moving on with this mantra Ronaldo or Chaos.
