Sporting has offeredManchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo the option to transfer the former prodigy for free . His road to one of Summer's most controversial sagas.
The Portuguese revealed his desire to leave the club after a dismal summer on and off the pitch following his 4-0 defeat to Brentford on Saturday. I made it.
Ronaldo's behavior in that match was part of a subsequent discussion by United staff,trying to find a way to get the team back on track.}
There is growing debate within the club as to whether it is better to eliminate Megastars, but Hierarchy has so far staunchly resisted.
Joel Glaser is said to have favored the Portuguese in particular due to both goal return and commercial value.
However, Sporting offered United a deal. Cristiano Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes, has spent the summer researching possible options, but no super club wants the 37-year-old, and clubs under that are slashing his fees and wages.
Sporting could seal a deal if they can get Ronaldo for free. Atlético Madrid, who also have strong ties with Mendes, are considering a similar move, but are still wary of fan backlash.
Any deal with the Spanish club could at least help United's long-standing interest in João Felix, who is commonly seen as the successor to Ronaldo as Portugal's next megastar.
