Around the soap opera Cristiano Ronaldo the twists never end. This morning the Portuguese champion went to Continassa to tell coach Allegri that he no longer intended to stay at Juve and to greet all his teammates and then took his personal plane to head to Lisbon in view of the call-up of his national team. But if the farewell to the bianconeri was obvious, his destination is not the same: he will not be Pep Guardiola's City but the Manchester United who presented a formal offer to Juve to pay the player's fee (28 million euros) and offer CR7 a two-year contract.
In short, a nice twist and a great return to United who, under Fergusson's guidance, projected him into the Olympus of English and international football, where he won 5 Champions League titles and 5 Golden Balls in an endless challenge with Leonel Messi, who arrived at PSG only a few weeks ago.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo was more than a romantic choice a realistic choice, due on the one hand to the coldness of Pep Guardiola who didn't much like his arrival at City and on the other hand to the warm welcome from United, where both coach Solskjær and his teammates did everything to make him feel the their affection: “Cristiano, you know how much we love you and how much we respect you”.
Now Juve must decide how to replace CR7 but he will do it without difficulty because he has two options ahead: either to go back up Moise Kean, whom Allegri knows well and who would rush back to the parent company where he grew up, or go on Mauro Icardi, which is a bit tight at PSG since the arrival of Messi. The next few hours will be decisive but, as expected, the last days of the transfer market are effervescent to say the least. And it's not over yet.
