Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to leave Juventus this summer, and is prepared to take a cut in pay in order to return to his former Premier League side Manchester United. Juventus would be happy to sell in order to raise funds and cut costs after the failure of the European Super League.
'Moment of truth' - Ronaldo could return to Man Utd - Euro Papers
Cristiano Ronaldo is tempted by a return to Manchester United, according to reports in Italy.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the 36-year-old Portuguese striker would be willing to reduce his current salary demands, and is considering moving on from Juventus a year before his contract expires in 2022.
Juve are almost certain to fail to win Serie A for the first time in a decade, and under-performed again in the Champions League - the trophy that he was brought in to challenge for.
The Italian club are struggling financially as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, and were dealt a further blow when their plan for a remunerative European Super League was sunk swiftly earlier this week.
Juve may be willing to see Ronaldo leave in order to cut their expenses, and would expect around £25 million as a transfer fee.
Ronaldo reportedly wants 20 million euros a year.
Paul Pogba, United’s 28-year-old French midfielder, is also out of contract next summer and the two could exchange their clubs.
United were also keen on establishing a European Super League, but the fallout from the incident has seen Ed Woodward announce his resignation.
