No one is going to pay him what he is paid in the camel league. If playing in Europe is his priority, he should accept a pay cut. I think he wants to retire at his former club, where he grew up and debuted his career. The problem about this guy is he doesn't want to accept that his career at professional level is over, the guy thinks it's still 2017.
Ronaldo and Messi have the same problem. They can't go to a big club because they're not good enough anymore to have a significant role, and they're too big to play in a reserve role because it will be too much of a headache and distraction for the club and coach.
And neither one of them are going to play in some mid-level club making little money when they can go play in a shit league making big money and padding their stats while essentially enjoying early retirement.
It's a shame too, because there are fun places Ronaldo could go to. For example, Paris FC was just promoted to Ligue 1 and what better way to try to promote your club and bring attention to it than signing Ronaldo? Or what about a club like Como? Imagine Ronaldo there as they try to build their club into bigger status in Italy. Those clubs would get the attention they want and Ronaldo could go and be the focal point and star. Hell, Ronaldo at a club like Roma would be fun.
Outside the box ideas like that are fun, but will just never happen for many reasons. And I don't blame them for choosing the path they're currently on.

I'm a Ronaldo fan and don't mean this as an insult.
I think Ronaldo cares about Ronaldo. Forget Inter. He would sign for Barcelona in a second if they wanted him to be their starting striker and he could score 40 goals a year.
When it comes to club football, Ronaldo wants to score goals, make money, and win -- and I think that order is his priority at this point in his career going into his age 41 season.

It makes me sad looking back on those teams and the names/talent we had. We may not have been a great team and definitely had holes in the midfield and at fullback, but I truly loved those teams and we had players I truly enjoyed watching and rooting for
Older players/leaders like Buffon, Chiellini, Bonucci, Cuadrado, and Cristiano
Solid players still in their prime ages like Szczesny, Danilo, Dybala, Rabiot, and Morata
And newer/younger talents like de Ligt, Demiral, Bentancur, Chiesa, McKennie, and Kulusevski
That was a fun time to be a Juventus fan

Man Utd were already in free fall, let's be serious now. Humorously, they moved from 6th to 3rd the season he left. Ronaldo holding them back? Obviously not, they have been shit for years.
Ronaldo wasn't the problem for us, the guy scored 100 goals, but his signing was part of wider questionable recruitment and use of finances.
