Previously, French giants Paris Saint Germain (PSG) were widely rumored to be signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.
However, now PSG actually closed the opportunity to sign Cristiano Ronaldo.
In fact, you could even say that there is no more space on PSG’s front lines for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Because the club already has Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar.
Ronaldo is still under contract with Manchester United. The Portugal national team captain was said to have asked United to let him go.
Several things are the cause. One of them is because the Red Devils will only compete in the Europa League next season. CR7 still wants to fight in the Champions League.
That’s why, he was looking for a new port. PSG are among the teams that have been linked with the 37-year-old footballer. Les Parisiens have the financial strength to meet the star’s wage standards.
The main reason is because the French giants are involved in competing for titles in various competitions. Later heard different information.
“According to ESPN, the club rejected the opportunity (to sign Ronaldo) after talks between President Nasser Al-Khelaifi and the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes,” quoted Pedia content from the Daily Mail page.
Al-Khelaifi and Mendes are known to have a close relationship. But PSG did not want to be rash in making decisions. The Ligue 1 champions don’t have enough room in their salary budget to accommodate CR7.
They also believe Ronaldo would not be the right signing at the moment. PSG is entering a new era. Starting from the success of the Ligue 1 champions defending Mbappe.
Subsequently, Les Parisiens changed its coaching staff and sporting director. The era of Mauricio Pochettino and Leonardo Araujo is over. Now the figures of Christophe Galtier and Luis Campos appear there.
Galtier wants to play with a three central defender scheme at PSG. Automatically in other areas adjustments occur. He will find it difficult to always lose Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi at the same time.
“Signing Ronaldo will only exacerbate that dilemma,” the report added.
Previously, Bayern Munich was also reluctant to accommodate the five Ballon d’Or winner.
Meanwhile, Man United coach, Erik ten Hag confirmed, CR7 included in the plan.
