Cristiano Ronaldo is currently living his days in Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese stunned the soccer world after he made a shock move to Al Nassr. The player left Europe on bitter terms after his former club, Manchester United, terminated his contract. This resulted in the striker moving to the sunny side and penning a mouth-watering $215 million-per-year contract.
It has almost been five months since the CR7 made the blockbuster transfer. During this time, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has encountered both positive and negative experiences with his new club. His time in Saudi Arabia has not been as successful as anticipated, and there have been rumors circulating about his potential departure from Al Nassr. In fact, with a rumored exit, there is already a potential destination for the veteran.

It hasn’t been the move that Ronaldo expected it to be. The 38-year-old has been displaying inconsistent performance. Additionally, there have been noticeable instances where he has exhibited signs of frustration. These factors indicate the possibility of him having some regrets about his decision. However, he may have a chance to restart everything, as the former Madrid star can return to one of the top European leagues.
According to the German newspaper Abendzeitung Munich, Bayern Munich has received an unexpected email from Markus Schön, a German millionaire. In the email, Schön proposes a concrete project wherein he would finance Ronaldo’s transfer to the $4.275 billion worth team in exchange for a partnership contract. This offer indicates that it is not a mere joke but a genuine proposal.
The German aristocrat suggests that the arrival of the Portuguese skipper will give the team a major boost in both financial and sporting terms. Schön insists that the 38-year-old footballer would be willing to make a financial concession, despite his lucrative two-year contract worth 200 million euros. While the millionaire is ambitious to foster his move, the ball remains in Bayern’s court.

While the news may delight the soccer world, the situation still stands in front of Bayern. Although the club has been previously linked with a move for Ronaldo, their executives have often rejected the proposal. However, that rejection came due to the club’s financial condition. However, now the Bundesliga giants have a chance to bolster their ranks, and his arrival can add fury to their attack.
The club recently suffered a shock exit from the Champions League and hasn’t lifted the trophy since 2020. Hence, bringing “Mr. Champions League” himself may boost their chances of winning the silverware once again. Moreover, the benefit would go three-way to both Ronaldo and Bayern as well as Markus Schön.
