RONALDO LATEST
Here’s an update from our man Kaveh Solhekol, who is across the Cristiano Ronaldo story.
“Manchester United have reservations about trying to sign Cristiano Ronaldo this summer and he was not on a list of transfer targets Jose Mourinho gave to executive chairman Ed Woodward before the end of the season.
“United’s concerns centre around the fact they do not want to become involved in the media circus surrounding Ronaldo’s future. The total cost and complicated nature of any potential deal are also making United wary of becoming embroiled in a transfer saga that would overshadow their preparations for the new season.“Ronaldo was not a realistic target when Mourinho drew up his list of targets in March because he had signed a new five-year Real Madrid contract last November.
“That situation changed last week after Ronaldo let it be known that he wants to leave Spain because he is angry at being accused of evading of £12.8 million in tax between 2011 and 2014.”
