Manchester United Transfer News: Cristiano Ronaldo could be available for £25million
According to transfer news from Daily Star, Manchester United could re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo for a cut-price £25million. The former United star has seen his future come into question at Juventus after an underwhelming season. However, it is unclear as to whether United will still go after the Portuguese maverick after signing Jadon Sancho.
The Portuguese superstar is one of the best players in the history of the game. Despite turning 36, Ronaldo continues to impress and has scored 29 goals in 33 Serie A appearances for Juventus in an underwhelming season.
Ronaldo’s return is nothing new at this point, with the former star heavily expected to return to his stomping grounds again. He has had his frustrations with Juventus over the last few seasons, failing to win the coveted Champions League.
With cash scare, Juventus are looking to offload their biggest asset in Ronaldo. His astronomical wages are the reason they are prepared to let him go for a reduced price of £25million. Now, it will be up to United if they really want their former star back after such a massive outlay on Jadon Sancho.

If one were to put aside the sentimental aspect, a deal for Ronaldo would hardly make sense. He may still be banging goals like a 25-year-old. But the fact s that he is 36 and close to the final years of his career. United are building a young squad aided by some experienced heads and it would be a huge gamble to put Ronaldo in that picture. Even at that price tag.
