His return to the field with his club did not change his mind, quite the contrary. According AS, Cristiano Ronaldo would have set his departure before Manchester United’s start in the Premier League, which is Sunday against Brighton. A deadline which should not however be respected since the courtiers do not rush to the door of the Portuguese star.
Two clubs are currently said to be still in the race, Atlético de Madrid and Napoli, but the two teams must significantly cut down before making a bid for the legend of world football. Cristiano Ronaldo will have to take his troubles patiently. It remains to be seen whether he will be in the squad for the first game of the season.
