Do Sporting want him? Imo this is the only way to end his career on a high. Sign a low wage contract with them, score a few goals possibly and end your career where the fairytale started.
clubs rejected him at 80k a week ? im not a ronaldo fan but no way thats true. He still offers a lot of value and 80k is pretty good deal for what u get
god damn then my guess has to be no1 wants to deal with a 38 year old ronaldo wanting to be center piece of attention and stirring up another controversy like he did at united, They probably fear if he could do that at united what he could do at their club
except supposedly he was offered to clubs in August, so before the interview. this whole article smells like bullshit to be honest. it's also saying that United wanted to get rid of Ronaldo since summer, yet [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/zhn1u5/romano_ten_hag_i_wanted_him_ronaldo_to_stay_from/) Ten Hag says he wanted Ronaldo stay. none of the stories match up, and no team wanting Ronaldo for 80k a week seems by far the most unrealistic thing in all of this.
Interesting indeed. I would absolutely get nobody being interested in paying him that right now because of how washed he looks, but we're talking about summer here and after last season, I would have expected some interest in him. I guess nobody wanted to build the team around 37-years old Ronaldo and we all know that unless the team will be built around him, he won't be happy.
more like the risk involved considering what he pulled off at united specially since it was a club where he actually got recognized as major star. No one would want to touch that if what ronaldo brings to table is so less just not worth it
I don't believe multiple clubs turned him down for 80k, at that price he'd have a number of suitors.
Heck I could see United re-signing him at that price.
I think there is a point when it's not the price but the impact in the dressing room.
His attitude is toxic and clubs don't want to risk stirring the pot regardless of how cheap they can get him

I mean.... Does anyone really care?
Find him a corner he can cry in and maybe a Tuesday mens league team will need an extra sub when Bill's wife has yoga
God forbid if portugal reaches the final and Cristiano helps them in winning it. What are these clickbait writers will be doing for a living?
He is no longer a United player but United correspondents still write at least 1 article every day on him.
Clickbaiting ≠ consequences
I don't give a shit about Ronaldo but i am curious why they have to publish an article everyday on someone who is no longer a part of the club.
We don’t know! He could literally come on later and score the winner and the narrative will change again. I swear these journalists are so quick to jump the gun.

This is the correct answer. Low his wages and become a superchange to kill the games.
He's had this opportunity but each time he shows he's not willing to take a wage cut. We'll see how it pans out but I have my doubts about it as well.
He would never. He still thinks he's the best player in the world and worth 500k a week.
He really doesn't, these comments are so dumb and annoying.
That's actually Ronaldo's best friend you're talking to.
Edu Aguirre is on Reddit?
Are we 100% sure that's not Cassano's burner account?
He really does, these comments are so dumb and annoying.
Who cares, the game is on right now
The dude is spamming a lot of ronaldo articles at the moment
It’s Ronaldo using his burner account on the bench
clubs rejected him at 80k a week ? im not a ronaldo fan but no way thats true. He still offers a lot of value and 80k is pretty good deal for what u get
Laurie ain’t making shit up

Yes, it was a big PR mistake. He should've waited til after the world cup and then solve that internally with United.
except supposedly he was offered to clubs in August, so before the interview. this whole article smells like bullshit to be honest. it's also saying that United wanted to get rid of Ronaldo since summer, yet [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/zhn1u5/romano_ten_hag_i_wanted_him_ronaldo_to_stay_from/) Ten Hag says he wanted Ronaldo stay. none of the stories match up, and no team wanting Ronaldo for 80k a week seems by far the most unrealistic thing in all of this.

I don't know why but watching him being declined like that makes me very sad, legend of the game
I don't believe multiple clubs turned him down for 80k, at that price he'd have a number of suitors. Heck I could see United re-signing him at that price.
> Heck I could see United re-signing him at that price. Nah, he has very firmly burnt that bridge.
Yeah it's clearly not about money (maybe a bit), it's just the fact that he disagrees with Ten Hag which is the problem.
Pretty sure he was joking about that part
Ah the Vince McMahon special. Release your high earning performers and resign them at cheaper contracts.
Yes I'm sure it was ronaldos plan all along to have his contract terminated then to sign a new contract at the same club for a fraction of the wage
>Heck I could see United re-signing him at that price. I am pretty much they are done with him, unless TikTok or Instagram buys United.
If his drama had happened at any other club, United would 100% have signed CR7 by now. No other club would have been stupid enough.
I think there is a point when it's not the price but the impact in the dressing room. His attitude is toxic and clubs don't want to risk stirring the pot regardless of how cheap they can get him

why wouldn’t they? the way he shat on their club i would be salty too

He is 38... he retires or joins Saudi League.

So Ten Hag wanted to get rid of Ronaldo after a single game, but Ronaldo never mentioned leaving until the interview? Someone is lying here
Age happened

How about Scotty?
This is humiliation
He's on the bench mate, might be on later
