No, we won't. Fuck him. No ambitious club actually wants him - he can go enjoy an extended vacation back home, or maybe some pathetic Ligue 1 Uber Eats club will take pity on his obsession to participate in the CL and appease him.

He's a 37 year old Toxic Prima Donna, and no serious club should actually be going for someone like him.

Being an all time great also means knowing when your time at the highest level is up. Seems this guy doesn't have that self-awareness.

All the big clubs stayed away from him this summer, should be a clear sign really.

his time wouldn't necessarily have to be up if he played his cards right. his time as a 30m/year player that dictates how he trains, when he plays, what position he plays probably is over. if he wasn't such an expensive diva that's forcing a move for the 2nd summer in a row, I'm sure many coaches would love to have such a weapon up their sleeve, his aerial ability and shooting technique alone are major threats.

Agreed, but he has played his card poorly since he left Real Madrid. And then he chose to leave Juve for a shit United, and now he's crying about them being shit and wants out.

Everyone with a well functioning brain could've seen it would be a bad choice going back there. But when he wanted out of Juve no other big club wanted him, hence he chose United. Apparantly City was a possibility, but it was always half hearted from their side.

Another problem is, when you play with a soon to be 38 year old Ronaldo it's like being a man down when the opponents have the ball. There's no defensive work or tracking back, everything has to go through him. When you try to build a team that just doesn't work anymore with his age. If he was in his prime it would be different, but thats at leats a handful years ago.

When he joined Juventus he had been the best player in the world.

yeah, Ronaldo @ 5-7M is an asset, even with all the diva baggage.
