Why do big clubs not recruit Ronaldo?

Ronaldo is facing the risk of the first time after 20 years without the Champions League next season.

He missed a trip to Thailand and Australia, taking the family's reason. But the transfer expert in Fabrizio Romano said Ronaldo once told Man Utd that he wanted to leave the summer 2022. After a while the representative of Jorge Mendes negotiated with some clubs but failed, the 37 -year -old striker will discuss. The future with Man Utd this week.

The last time Ronaldo was not played in the Champions League as the 2002-2003 season, when joining Sporting Lisbon to play the UEFA Cup qualifying round - the predecessor of the Europa League.

Since then, Ronaldo has played 19 consecutive Champions League seasons. He headed the statistics of 183 goals and 42 assists, with five championships and seven times to win the top scorer. ESPN likes Ronaldo to be the Champions League king.

Ronaldo not only brought the goal, but also attracted a huge fan base. He owns 467 million records on Instagram, while the second person is American model Kylie Jenner has 358 million followers.

There will be 32 teams in the Champions League next season, of which 26 clubs have been identified. But no team wants to recruit Portuguese superstar, although he will make sure to bring back achievements both in and on the pitch.

Co -owned Chelsea Todd Boehly met Mendes to discuss Ronaldo's future. This team also lets the expensive striker Romelu Lukaku went to Inter on loan, but has not recruited any medium instead. But whether Boehly wants Ronaldo or not, the final decision is still in coach Thomas Tuchel. He said the striker was not the priority of Chelsea this summer. Rehenem Sterling can also kick the striker between, or Kai Havertz also gradually becomes "virtual number 9" in Stamford Bridge.

Atletico Madrid is said to have Ronaldo, but their financial situation is worst in Europe. If you want to register a player like Ronaldo, Atletico will have to earn $ 40 million from selling other players. They wanted to push Alvaro Morata or Saul Niguez to make room for the rookies, but none teamed to buy these two Spanish players.

Bayern is also considered as Ronaldo's favorite choice, but the German champion does not respond to the wishes of the 37 -year -old superstar even though Robert Lewandowski to Barca. Director Hasan Salihamidzic or CEO Oliver Kahn repeatedly denied Bayern contact CR7. "Such a deal is not suitable for our philosophy," Kahn said.

Another team is less reputable but wants to attract Ronaldo, Napoli. They also need a "machine" for next season, after losing Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens in the summer of 2022. Coach Luciano Splatetti also said that in the top 4 Serie A with Napoli next season "extremely difficult". But this team has not sent any official offer to Man Utd.

Forbes said Ronaldo was the third highest highest income in the world in 2022, when he could earn about 115 million USD. A Saudi Arabia club is ready to pay Ronaldo for up to 280 million USD in a two -year contract, for him to go to Asia to play. But striker Man Utd has not decided to accept Saudi Arabia's proposal.

In addition, not many teams are interested in this deal. PSG refused to participate in negotiations. Man City and Liverpool have signed contracts with Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez. Tottenham had Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and had just bought Richarlison, so they were not likely to significantly reduce the salary fund to recruit Ronaldo now.

Italian clubs are even more difficult to attract Ronaldo, because of finance. Milan has just extended one year with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Inter also lost about 25 million USD for a season to borrow Lukaku from Chelsea.

Barca has just spent on Lewandowski, Raphinha and maybe Jules Kounte. Real Madrid has just won the Champions League without CR7. Only Ajax and Leipzig have enough financial potential to entice Ronaldo into negotiations. But the size of these two teams is not enough to attract him.

The concession is still valid until September 1, but it is likely that Ronaldo will have to be absent in the Champions League after 20 years.
