If Neymar Is Really Happy At PSG, What Does That Mean For Cristiano Ronaldo?

JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Juventus looks set to be one of the key stories this summer.

With Juventus' balance sheet destroyed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the gray prospects of Europa League football, they are increasingly inclined to get rid of Ronaldo, who has a salary of € 31 million per year.

In fact, the Bianconeri are reportedly willing to accept a transfer fee of only € 25 million.

Following Neymar's announcement on Wednesday that he is happy in Paris and the fact that his representatives are in discussions with Paris Saint-Germain regarding a contract extension, MARCA is looking at several options for Ronaldo.

Return to the long-awaited Manchester United

This summer Ronaldo could return to the long-awaited Manchester United, where he enjoyed some good times and one of the best games of his career between 2003 and 2009.

However, with the Red Devils focused on signing Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, Ronaldo will have to wait and see how that move develops before engaging in talks about his return to Old Trafford.

Return to the Bernabeu

Another possible goal for Ronaldo is a return to Real Madrid, where he won four Champions League trophies in a glittering career at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Ronaldo is still greatly admired by supporters of the Spanish capital team, including coach Zinedine Zidane.

However, Los Blancos have prioritized signing PSG star Kylian Mbappe, with Haaland also being targeted if that move fails to materialize. The reason is clear, Madrid wants to build a new generation at the club with one of these brilliant young stars.

Because of that, returning to Real Madrid seems very unlikely.

Joins with Neymar in Paris

Neymar's announcement on Wednesday does not mean that Cristiano Ronaldo's move is out of the question.

In fact, with Mbappe not yet agreeing to a new contract and awaiting Real Madrid, his departure will allow Ronaldo to take his place at the Parc des Princes.

Move to the United States

This summer Cristiano Ronaldo could follow the likes of David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovic by moving to Major League Soccer.

The 36-year-old could be tempted by Manchester United and Real Madrid legend David Beckham to become a major star in his new team, Inter Miami.

Ronaldo will feel that he has a few years left at the top level in Europe, but we will wait and see what happens.
