On the 7th (Korean time), British media ‘Football Insider’ said, “According to the sources, Chelsea are preparing £14 million (regarding KRW 21.8 billion) to sign Ronaldo. “Chelsea plan to continue their interest in Ronaldo with a solid offer following discussions between new owners Todd Boeli and manager Thomas Tuchel.”
Ronaldo made a sudden comeback to Manchester United before the 2021-22 season. Did Ronaldo think of Manchester United, which was in its prime at the time he was playing? Ronaldo expressed his disappointment at United, which did not even qualify for the Champions League, and eventually informed the club of his hopes for a move.
Ronaldo, who appeared in the transfer window like this, has attracted interest from Bayern Munich, Chelsea and SSC Napoli. While other clubs reacted lukewarmly, Chelsea took action. To fill the void of Romelu Lukaku, who left for Inter, it was necessary to reinforce a world-class striker, and Ronaldo was selected as the right person.
In fact, there is no reason why Manchester United will allow Ronaldo to transfer. Ronaldo’s contract expires in 2023, with one year remaining, but as is known, there is an additional option for a one-year extension, which means that in effect, he has two years left. In addition, the transfer to a rival team in the league, not in another league, is a difficult situation for United.
Manchester United have not issued an official statement despite Ronaldo’s unilateral transfer notice and absence from training. Locally, it is also said that manager Eric Ten Haach has approved the release of Ronaldo, which obscures the team atmosphere, but Ronaldo’s whereregardings are in a complicated situation.
Currently, most European clubs have started team training. In particular, Manchester United are in the midst of rebuilding under the direction of new manager Ten Haach, but Ronaldo did not attend team training at this important time and announced the transfer. It is an important situation in which coach Ten Haach’s plans for the season may be canceled, and the transfer market is in full swing, so it is difficult to find a replacement now.
The Ronaldo transfer saga has begun in earnest with Chelsea’s official offer. It is noteworthy that Ronaldo is absent from team training for various reasons.
