Cristiano Ronaldo cheers with his typical, long drawn-out “Siuuuu” in front of Dortmund’s south stand. The world star chasing goals in the Bundesliga, an idea that should not only please the fans of Borussia Dortmund. Ronaldo himself should not be averse to it, the Portuguese is even pushing for a move to Dortmund
As “CBS Sports” reports from the USA, Ronaldo, now 37 years old, definitely wants to switch to Borussia Dortmund. As sources, the American medium gives the immediate environment of the superstar. According to information from “Bild”, consultant Jorge Mendes actually offered his clients to BVB. After the English, Spanish and Italian leagues, Ronaldo should be tempted to play in the Bundesliga again. Much more important for the striker is the prospect of being able to compete with Dortmund in the Champions League, unlike with Manchester United.
Ronaldo, on the other hand, is not yet considering a move to his hometown club Sporting Lisbon because a return to Portugal is not in line with the superstar’s sporting ambitions.
In Dortmund, on the other hand, interest in Ronaldo is said to be rather low. According to “Bild”, there are several reasons for this. In Manchester, Ronaldo is said to earn around 29 million euros net a year; this amount would completely blow up the salary structure of Dortmund.
In addition, Youssoufa Moukoko, 17, apparently does not want to get in the way of another striker as a competitor. Ronaldo’s age also plays a decisive role: at 37, the Portuguese is too old for the Dortmund squad.
After an initial change veto, according to “CBS Sports”, Manchester United has now come to the realization that it is better for the club to let Ronaldo go. Advisor Mendes had apparently offered the five-time world footballer to numerous top clubs in vain in the past few weeks – including Paris Saint-Germain, Atlético Madrid and also FC Bayern.
