It turns out that signing star forward Sadio Mane from Liverpool could be just the beginning of a busy summer for Bayern Munich. According to multiple reports, the Bundesliga giants are considering making a move for Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo if Robert Lewandowski leaves the club.

Lewandowski has one year left on his deal and has said multiple times that he wants to leave Germany this summer. The 33-year-old has been linked with several clubs, but La Liga giants Barcelona are current favorites to sign him. However, that is if Bayern softens its stance. 

Despite being in risk of losing Lewandowski on a free transfer next summer, Bayern has been surprisingly patient. The club is asking for €40 million to let the Polish striker leave early and is willing to keep him another year if their price tag isn’t met.

On the other hand, Ronaldo is disillusioned in Manchester after a disappointing 2021-22 campaign. He believes the club isn’t ready to fight for trophies as currently constructed and fears that he’ll fail to add more trophies to his resume if he remains at Old Trafford. The 37-year-old is keen to go somewhere where he can win right away, and Bayern presents an ideal opportunity for that.

It remains to be seen how the German club feels about the matter, but it is hard to see them passing on arguably the greatest soccer player of all time despite his advanced age.

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has just added another record to his already historic resume. With a hat-trick scored in a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur, the 37-year-old got his career goal tally to 807 and became soccer’s all-time leading goal-scorer.

The top spot on the list was previously held by Austrian-Czech striker Josef Bican, who scored 805 goals in official matches between 1931 and 1955. Brazil legend Pele is often credited with being the most-prolific goal-scorer of all time with 1,279 goals, but his tally includes many unofficial games like youth appearances and friendly and exhibition matches.

Ronaldo struggled with form and injuries in recent matches, having scored just one goal in 2022 before the clash against the Spurs. However, he delivered when United needed him the most to keep their Top 4 finish hopes alive.

Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 12th minute, delivering a stunning flick following a great assist by Brazilian midfielder Fred. 

After the Spurs grabbed an equalizer in the 35th minute via Harry Kane’s penalty kick, Ronaldo got the Man Utd in front again after just three minutes. Winger Jadon Sancho made a strong run on the left side and delivered a timely cross that Ronaldo capitalized on to set his goal-scoring record.

United’s captain Harry Maguire gifted the Spurs an equalizer in the 72nd minute through an own goal, but Ronaldo bailed out his team once again with a ruthless header.

This was Ronaldo’s 59th hat-trick of his career, and he has become the third-oldest player to register one in Premier League. He has 18 goals and two assists in 32 matches in all competitions for United this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo is making a sensational return to Manchester United. The Premier League giants confirmed the move on their social media on Friday.

According to reports, Man Utd will pay Juventus close to $20 million transfer fee for Ronaldo. The agreement between the two sides includes $10 million in add-ons as well.

“Manchester United is delighted to confirm that the club has reached agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, subject to agreement of personal terms, visa and medical,” said United in a statement.

Ronaldo reportedly didn’t take part in Friday’s training for Juventus ahead of the move. He just visited his teammates to say goodbye and later left Italy in a private jet.

Ronaldo was previously close to joining United’s crosstown rivals Man City, and even had discussions with the club’s manager Pep Guardiola. But the deal never got across the line as Man City was looking to get Ronaldo for free, considering that the move would save Juve more than $30 million in wages. Seria A club, on the other hand, wanted at least $25 million in order to sanction the transfer.

Manchester United exploited City’s hesitance and came in with an offer that satisfied both the team and the player. Ronaldo now returns to the club for which he played six seasons between 2003 and 2009. He won three Premier League trophies and Championship League in Manchester while also picking up a number of individual awards.

Cristiano Ronaldo spent the last three seasons with Juventus, arriving in Italy in a $120 million transfer in 2018. Ronaldo played 134 games for the club, scoring 101 goals in all competitions. He also helped Juve win two Seria A titles and Copa Italia trophy.

Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil forward Neymar played with some of the biggest names in soccer during his career, but there’s one player he would particularly like to share jersey with. Unsurprisingly, that player is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neymar, who recently penned a new deal with PSG until 2025, revealed this in a recent interview with GQ.

“I want to play with Cristiano Ronaldo,” said Neymar. “I have already played with great players, like [Lionel] Messi and [Kylian] Mbappe, but I haven’t played with Cristiano Ronaldo yet.”

Neymar already has a stellar supporting cast in Paris, playing alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Angel Di Maria, and Marco Verratti. But despite a stacked team, PSG hasn’t been able to get to a Champions League trophy.

Having Ronaldo on his side would probably make this feat easier for Neymar. The Portuguese superstar has topped the competition five times, winning one with Manchester United and four with Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo is currently enjoying a lukewarm season with Juventus, and the chatter of him leaving Seria A giants is growing louder by day. While Real seems to be in play as his next destination, heading to France might also be on the cards, according to multiple reports. So don’t be surprised if you see Neymar getting his wish true as soon as this summer.

Despite being one of the best soccer players in the world, it turns out that Juventus star forward Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t like to watch soccer in his free time. Instead, he turns to boxing or UFC.

Ronaldo revealed his preference during a recent appearance in the Parallel Worlds documentary.

“Playing football is my passion, but I prefer watching other sports on TV,” Ronaldo told former boxing champion Gennady Golovkin. “Between watching a football match or a boxing or UFC fight, I choose boxing or UFC.”

According to Ronaldo, he became interested in boxing and fighting sports earlier in his career while he played for Manchester United.

He believes that boxing practices are useful for soccer, as “you learn to move” while your senses get sharpened as well.

It could be that boxing philosophy helped Cristiano Ronaldo extend his sports career, as he is still one of the most dominant athletes in the world even though he’ll turn 36 in February.

After racking up an impressive 31 goals last season, Ronaldo is scoring at will in 2020-21 as well. He already has 10 goals in only seven Seria A matches, while adding four more in the UEFA Champions League.

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make his case for being the greatest player of all time.

Ronaldo scored both goals in Juventus’ recent 2-1 win over Lazio, which marked his 50th goals in Seria A. This means that the 35-year-old forward is now the only player in the history of the game to score 50 goals in English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and Italian Seria A.

He now has 30 goals for the season, enough to equalize himself at the top of Serie A’s leading goalscorers for 2019/20 with Lazio’s Ciro Immobile. 

“Records are always important, but what matters is the team,” Ronaldo said after the game. “We are doing phenomenal work, and the important thing is to end like this, to win—the records come from a natural process, but what matters is to bring home the league title.”

Ronaldo scored 65 goals in all competitions since joining Juventus in 2018.  He recently became the first Juventus player since 1959/60 to score 26 goals or more in a single Serie A campaign.

Juve’s win against Lazio was their first in four games and helped the team to increase their lead at the top of Seria A table. They now have eight more than second-placed Inter Milan with four games left to be played.

“Real Madrid would like to communicate that we have listened to the wish and request expressed by player Cristiano Ronaldo and have agreed to his transfer to Juventus FC,” – said Real Madrid in an official statement following the transfer.

Real Madrid did make a final push to convince Ronald to stay and offered him an improved contract, which would see the 33-year-old earning $64.5 million, compared to $45.2 million he was getting from his existing deal. The player still refused the offer in favor of moving to Italy.

“These years at Real Madrid and in this city of Madrid have quite possibly been the happiest years of my life,” – said Ronaldo in a statement. “I only have feelings of great gratitude to this club, to the fans and to the city. I can only give thanks to all of them for the love and affection that I have received. However, I feel that the time has come to begin a new stage of my life and that is why I have asked the club to accept my transfer. I feel it this way and I am asking everyone, and especially my fans, so please understand me.“

Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2009 from Manchester United in a transfer worth around $100 million. During his time in Madrid, Ronaldo scored 450 goals in 438 appearances while winning numerous individual honors including four Ballon d’Or awards. He also helped Real win four Champions League titles and two La Liga trophies.

Sorry Lionel Messi fans, but Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the best soccer player in the world. At least, according to FIFA.

The winners of the awards were determined by national team captains, coaches, and media representatives votes.

It’s a landmark moment in my career; a moment involving intense emotions.” – said Ronaldo, when asked about his consecutive win. “I’m happy to have won this award tonight, but what I originally wanted was to make a success of my footballing career and I think I’ve achieved that. Obviously, winning trophies, and being one of the players with the most individual awards in history, is a great source of pride. It’s an unforgettable moment in my life and it motivates me to continue performing at the highest level.“

Ronaldo faced competition from Lionel Messi and Neymar for the top prize but ended up winning 43.16% of total votes.

Unfortunately, in the competition for best women’s player, the U.S.’ Carli Lloyd won 16.28% of total votes, which placed her in the second spot behind Netherlands’ Lieke Martens with 21.72% of total votes.

In the category for best men’s coach, Zinedine Zidane got the majority of the votes to win the award in front of Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegri. Sarina Wiegman took the award in the women’s category.
