Much has been said and numerous rumours have surfaced during this summer period, but nothing concrete and formal has been said from the source himself- Ronaldo. His preparations for the European championships seem to have had been hampered by the speculation, as every interview questions were aimed towards him to clarify his future. His response has always been vague saying he will give an answer shortly, which has lead many to believe he could well want a move away as he has don’t nothing to quash the rumours.
Whilst Ronaldo has been vague in his response to the speculation, United have made their position very clear. They have issued numerous statements that the player is not for sale, and if Ronaldo makes his intentions clear that he wants to be sold, a legal battle could be brewing.
This saga has been going on for well over a year, but since United’s epic champions league win in Moscow, Real Madrid president Calderon has made is clear that Ronaldo was the clubs top transfer target. His public comments and flirtatious behaviour has infuriated Sir Alex, who eventually reported the club to FIFA for their actions. Even United’s owners the Glaziers have come out fighting, claiming they would rather let the winger rot in the reserves than being forced to sell their prized asset.
Ronaldo has never hidden his desire to play in Spain, and has recently labelled the move a ‘dream’. No doubt in the run up to pre-season we will see whether dreams come true.
