Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he attempted to persuade his international teammate to join him in Saudi Arabia. However, during training sessions, the teammate expressed a desire to play for Manchester United in England. Respecting this decision, Ronaldo is pleased that his compatriot is set to join the Red Devils, acknowledging the club’s need for reinforcement in that position.
Manchester United has agreed to an £80 million transfer fee for the Portuguese star, aiming to bolster their squad in the upcoming summer transfer window. This acquisition underscores the club’s commitment to strengthening key areas on the field.
Ronaldo’s own transfer history with Manchester United is notable. He initially joined the club in 2003 for £12 million, a record fee for a teenager at that time. After a successful stint, he transferred to Real Madrid in 2009 for £80 million, setting a world record transfer fee. In 2021, Ronaldo made a sensational return to Manchester United, signing a two-year contract with an option for a third year.
The upcoming transfer of Ronaldo’s teammate is anticipated to address specific gaps in Manchester United’s lineup, reflecting the club’s strategic efforts to reclaim their dominance in both domestic and European competitions. Fans eagerly await official confirmation and look forward to the impact this new signing will bring to Old Trafford.
