Cristiano Ronaldo made a surprise move to United shortly before the end of the transfer window. But was his transfer certain for a long time?
Has Cristiano Ronaldo’s move from Juventus Turin to Manchester United been confirmed longer than initially assumed? At least that’s what UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is good friends with CR7, claims.
“A month ago he told me that he was going to join Manchester United,” Khabib said in the context of the New Knowledge Marathon in Moscow. The move to the Red Devils was “no surprise” for him.
Cristiano Ronaldo: United statt City
Over the past few weeks, there have already been signs that Ronaldo will leave the old lady in the summer, but United city rivals Manchester City have long been the favorites to sign the 36-year-old.
The transfer to his ex-club, with which Ronaldo had already been under contract from 2003 to 2009, apparently only began after a decisive phone call shortly before the transfer window closed on August 31.
