While the whole world is speculating on his next move, neither Ronaldo nor his agency has commented on the recent rumors. Bayern Munich also declined the opportunity to sign Ronaldo and will focus on investing in their future. Meanwhile, Manchester City was reportedly the front-runner to sign Ronaldo in the summer transfer window. However, the transfer failed as the player decided to join United.
Manchester City now has Erling Haaland as their number 9, who is already breaking records in the Premier League. There’s little or no chance Pep Guardiola will try to jump in the winter window to sign Ronaldo.
