The recent news that the Portuguese
winger Cristiano Ronaldo is ‘sad’ at Real Madrid has startled the world of
football.
Though the reason behind this has not
been released by the Spanish club or the player himself, and as all the major
clubs get ready to capture the 27-year-old star, we have a look at the possible
reasons why he should leave Los Blancos and what could be his possible
destinations.
REASONS
Since being signed from Manchester United,
Ronaldo has won only two major titles (Copa Del Rey and the La Liga) at Madrid,
for a player with a habbit of biting the silverware that could be a
reason to look into new avenues.
When he joined in 2009 he was the best
player in the Premier League. In the La Liga he has been under
constant comparison with Lionel Messi and usually has been
overshadowed by the little magician of Barcelona and with the recent shift of
star power back to the Premier League. A move to remain in the center of attention
rather than its adjacent could be speculated for world’s most expensive player.
With more 3 years left on his contract
at the end of which he would be 30 and probably unable to keep up his pace and
agile game he may just end up on Los Blancos bench like many other Real Madrid
stars which could become an issue of concern for him.
DESTINATIONS
Manchester
United - With United and
Ronaldo’s ex-boss and father figure Sir Alex Ferguson determined to conquer
Europe once again before retirement, he would be eager to bring the former
United star back, making United the most favourabale home for the Madrid
hitman.
Manchester
City - With
the new-found riches and reports that the Blue half of Manchester may
be preparing a huge offer for the former World Player of the Year. But with
Ronaldo denying money as a problem and he would not be keen to upset Ferguson
by joining the reigning Premier League champions. The move seems more and more
faint but as we have seen before the money of the Sheikh owned clubs can be
quiet convincing.
MLS - Another place which could be called his home
in the future could be the United States. By doing so he would be following the
footsteps of the legends such as Thierry Henry and David Beckham, who have
shifted to the United States in the recent pas. In doing so, he will continue
to earn a hefty sum in salary above that will have more time, considering
Cristiano juniour being his complete responsibility very soon.
