Despite claims that Manchester City and Manchester United are close to signing Real Madrid and Barcelona star Cristiano Ronaldo, Sporting Lisbon say they have never considered signing the Portuguese winger.
Real Madrid
Despite rumors of a potential deal with Sporting Lisbon, Cristiano Ronaldo has no interest in returning to the Portuguese club this summer. Moreover, he says he would prefer to move to Qatar. He also has a bad relationship with club president Florentino Perez, whom he believes does not take the right approach as manager.
A report in the Football Insider suggests Real Madrid are plotting a Ronaldo return in December. However, he has dismissed the claim as a ‘fake’. He has also denied a move to Manchester City. Moreover, he has not yet decided whether to join Real Madrid or Barcelona, as he has a long list of clubs monitoring him.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the most expensive player in history, has had a glittering career, which began in Sporting Lisbon. He made his debut for the club in August 2003, when he was just 18 years old. He came on as a substitute with half an hour remaining in the 4-0 win over Bolton.
Manchester United
During the summer, several big clubs distanced themselves from Cristiano Ronaldo. Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich were among them. But it appears that the Portuguese is still on the move.
Ronaldo has been linked with a move away from United, but his demeanour has improved in recent days. However, he remains unhappy about the way he is being treated. Some fans are upset at the situation. Ronaldo has been critical of United’s owners, as well as his manager, Erik ten Hag. He has also questioned the way he is being treated.
United are considering ending his contract early. He is paid PS500,000 a week, and his wages have been cut by 25 per cent as a result of his failure to qualify for the Champions League last season.

Barcelona
Despite the interest of other clubs, Sporting Lisbon has refused to confirm if they ever considered signing Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portugal national player has made it clear that he would like to leave Old Trafford this summer, and the Portuguese club may not be able to compete with the offers out there.
Sporting Lisbon is set to play a key role in the plans of new manager Erik ten Hag. But the question remains: can the Argentinean striker make a return?
The former Manchester United midfielder has also been linked with a move to AC Milan and Inter, while Chelsea have been linked with a move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. These moves could be made before the transfer window closes, but the chances of them happening are slim.
Ronaldo has been a big name in the sport for years. He was even nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award. In fact, he was brought to the European football stage by Sporting when he was just a teenager. He was diagnosed with a heart condition at age 15, but made a full recovery.
Manchester Metropolis
Despite reports that a deal was agreed for Manchester United to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, the club have issued a statement denying that they ever discussed a deal. The club is also preparing for a potential season-long loan for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who could leave next June for free.
While United are not looking to make a major signing this summer, the club did invest heavily in other players in the summer. Raphael Varane was brought to the club before the start of the season, while Gareth Bale moved to North America. However, the club is now looking to get at least one trophy before the end of the season.
Ronaldo has started four of the 10 games in the Premier League this season. He has scored three goals and contributed two assists.
Sporting Lisbon
Throughout his career, Cristiano Ronaldo has been linked to a number of clubs. He is most often linked with Manchester United, but has also been linked to other teams including PSG and Chelsea. His career is not without controversy. His contract at the Red Devils looks to be set to expire in January. However, it has been rumored that he may be allowed to leave the club early.
Cristiano Ronaldo has had an amazing career. The Brazilian joined Manchester United in the summer of 2003, subsequently establishing himself as one of the most coveted players in the world. He helped the Red Devils win the FA Cup and three Premier League titles. He also won the Champions League. It is now said that Ronaldo has lost his way in England, and many believe that he is a liability to a team like Manchester United.
