Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s desire for an emotional reunion with the Spanish giants, Real Madrid has apparently decided not to make a move for the former striker.
The 37-year-old forward talked about his time at United during his dramatic interview with Piers Morgan, and it now appears quite likely that he will leave the club in the January transfer window. Ronaldo had already requested a transfer from United in the summer before revealing that United had “betrayed” him.
The process of terminating the remaining years of his contract has already begun and the club are dealing with the issue very carefully.
Ronaldo’s future is currently uncertain as clubs like Chelsea, Napoli, and Atletico Madrid have all been mentioned as potential buyers. The Portuguese has reportedly offered his services to his former team Real Madrid, according to Marca.
After seeing former teammate Karim Benzema suffer an injury that ended his chances of playing in the World Cup, Ronaldo might end up being a last-minute option in the January transfer window.

Jorge Mendes, a super agent, is reportedly seeking to negotiate Ronaldo’s departure from Old Trafford, but given Real’s position, things could get challenging. The Spanish powerhouses are not anticipated to pursue the Portuguese or any other striker during the winter transfer window. This will undoubtedly hurt Ronaldo as he looks to reunite with his old team.
He currently holds the club record for goals scored with 450 in 438 appearances at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Spanish team won four Champions League championships, two LaLiga championships, and numerous more awards thanks to his incredible record.
It will be alluring to bring Ronaldo back to the team where he enjoyed his best accomplishments and did not actually receive the best send-off.
However, given how his recent years have gone, it does not seem like the proper time to sign Ronaldo at this time. By far, the striker has been unable to play at his peak. Additionally, given that both Juventus and United have suffered since his arrival, there are concerns about the impact he has on teams at this point in his career.
Ronaldo will always be remembered as one of the greatest players in Real Madrid’s history. However, it might be best for all parties concerned if they don’t make a move for him.
