Should Robert Lewandowski actually leave FC Bayern this summer, then the German record champions urgently need a replacement in the center of the attack. With Sadio Mane from FC Liverpool, Munich have presented the first well-known newcomer, but the 30-year-old needs a congenial partner who he can feed with balls. The Spanish newspaper “AS” reports that Ronaldo wants to leave the traditional English club Manchester United because the squad is said to be too weak to be competitive in the fight for big trophies.
Despite being 37 years old, ‘CR7’ is still a hot stock in the transfer market and still good for a lot of goals. After the rumor of a possible move to AS Roma, Jose Mourinho’s club, who already had “CR7” under his wing at Real Madrid, FC Bayern is now coming into play. The “Reds” are thinking about an alternative to Lewandowski, who, despite a contract that runs until May 2023, should immediately move to FC Barcelona.
50 million euros for Lewandowski?
However, this envisaged deal is still a long way from a report of completion. It is said that the Bavarians are demanding 50 million (as a fixed fee) from the Catalans, and they do not even want to get involved in bonus clauses with delayed cash payments because of the manageable payment behavior of the financially badly battered “Blaugrana”. Either the same or not at all.
The English “Sun” wrote that Ronaldo would leave Manchester United for only three clubs: Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain and Roma. The multiple world footballer is said to be frustrated with Manchester United being so passive in the transfer market. To date, the new head coach Erik ten Haag, who succeeded the current ÖFB team boss Ralf Rangnick, is the only prominent newcomer. Although the “Red Devils” are interested in Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong, there can be no question of an agreement with FC Barcelona, which is demanding up to 85 million.
The transfer fee for Ronaldo will be the least of Bayern’s problems. ManUnited will not put any obstacles in the way of a deserving player. However, the exceptional player could shake up the salary structure at Munich. “CR7” is said to earn 29 million euros net per season at Manchester United, with Bayern Lewandowski is / was the best earner with 24 million gross.
What do you think the legends Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller will think about this Ronaldo idea?
