Cristiano Ronaldo to Man United? 

Despite his splendid run of form with the Old Lady, the club might not feel reluctant in trading the 35-year-old next summer. The club are struggling on the financial front and might find a deal for Ronaldo feasible and calculative. Indeed, the Portuguese superstar is the highest-paid player at Juventus, pocketing a mammoth €31 million a year, with the club yet to achieve Champions League glory, the main reason to rope in Ronaldo from Real Madrid.

Following the rumours of his Juventus exit, Ronaldo has been linked with a return to Old Trafford. Fans are particularly excited about the prospect of “The Last Dance” with the club that has seen the Portuguese international’s rise to global fame as the best footballer in the world. And the financial prospects are being factored in if Ronaldo returns to the Premier League.
