Chapter 508 Ronaldo’s determination!
Chapter 508 Ronaldo’s “determination”!
According to Solskjaer's original intention, he would never choose a former world-leading star like Ronaldo, because... there is no need for this!
The current "Red Devils" are completely Yang Xiaozhuang's one-man show. Everyone trusts him and serves him alone. Considering Yang Xiaozhuang's age, it can be foreseen that Manchester United will at least usher in a glorious period of ten years, or even... longer!
It can be said that Manchester United has entered a stable period now. As long as they don’t mess around and don’t randomly knock down the team’s main structure and rebuild it, the team’s performance will not be bad in the next few years.
For Solskjaer, a stable and powerful team is hard-won. He cherishes the opportunity to lead the "Red Devils" to create glory. He can even foresee that he will become a meritorious coach like "Sir" at Manchester United, leaving a strong mark in the history of the club.
But... these are conclusions based on rational considerations.
Out of love, Solskjaer still misses Ronaldo wearing Manchester United jersey again, not to mention that "Justice" is in it. As a disciple, he is not easy to disobey Ferguson's decision.
Therefore, despite some concerns that Ronaldo's return will affect the locker room, Solskjaer still has to operate this transfer deal. It is only before that, it is very necessary for him to communicate with Ronaldo.
After taking out his cell phone and finding Ronaldo's phone number, Solskjaer dialed directly, and the phone was quickly connected...
"Ole!? Ha, is it you?"
"Cristiano, it's me!"
"Ole, since you've called this, I think you already know something, right?"
Through the phone, Solskjaer could feel the excitement in Ronaldo's tone. It seemed that he was really not happy to stay in Juventus!
"Cristiano, I already know the situation, but I want to know more now, do you know what Manchester United is doing now?"
Ronaldo hesitated on the other side of the phone and immediately said: "Understand! Young is for a great guy. I am the past of Manchester United, he is the present and future. I know that if I return to the role after Manchester United, I also know my position."
After hearing this, Solskjaer nodded slightly. He believed that at Ronaldo's current age, he would no longer have any desire for locker room rights, and... he would not be able to argue with Yang!
"Okay, Cristiano, I believe that in terms of your experience, I don't need to say too much to you. Your professional football experience will tell you what to do is right."
"Of course! Ole, you can feel at ease. If I go back to Manchester United this time, it's just because... I want to go back to Old Trafford, and I want to go back to Portugal after that. But before that, I think I can still win some honors!"
"So that's the case, Cristiano, look forward to your return again!"
"OK!"
After the call, Solskjaer smiled helplessly and shook his head... Ronaldo is still so obsessed with honor and champion. Even if he is old... he still has to make some honors!
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knows that Ronaldo left Manchester United to transfer to Real Madrid not only because Real Madrid has a bigger stage and can give him a higher salary. In fact, with the importance of Ronaldo at Manchester United back then, the "Red Devils" are also willing to pay him a higher salary.
However, according to the European football situation that year, the possibility of Real Madrid winning the Champions League trophy was really much higher than that of Manchester United. In fact, Ronaldo won a lot of honors in Real Madrid, and Manchester United failed to win the Champions League trophy again. He even fell into a trough because of Ferguson's retirement. Until Yang Xiaozhuang came out of nowhere, he finally regained his glory.
Solskjaer later communicated with Manchester United CEO, but Ronaldo's return to this originally beautiful thing, but encountered some resistance at Woodward...Transfer fee!
According to Manchester United CEO’s understanding of football, if you spend the transfer fee, no matter how much you spend, whether you make a profit or lose, at least you can’t lose too much, right?
If you have to pay too much transfer fee to bring Ronaldo back to Old Trafford, it will completely violate the current "Red Devils" transfer strategy, because as long as you consider that Ronaldo is already 35 years old, this transfer transaction will definitely lose money!
Even... Juventus bought Ronaldo for 100 million euros, but now two and a half years have passed. Even if he is old and his condition has declined, Ronaldo can still score goals in the Serie A and score many goals!
In this case, if Manchester United wants to welcome Ronaldo back, how high will the "old woman" have to transfer fees?
Even if there is only half a year left between Ronaldo and Juventus, if Juventus does not let go, it is hard to say how much the transfer fee will be required.
In the end, Woodward set a cap for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer...10 million euros!
If Juventus asks for a price of no more than 10 million, Manchester United will pay the transfer fee and bring Ronaldo back to Old Trafford this winter transfer period.
But if it exceeds 10 million...Sao Rui!
Woodward doesn't accept such a transfer deal. He would rather spend ten times more money to a 20-year-old center shooter. Just like Haaland, he is even willing to spend more money, but he will never pay too much for a 35-year-old player.
Solskjaer asked Juventus, but the "old woman" quoted Ronaldo's quotation was 20 million euros... In fact, this price was not high, and even Juventus dared not report it high. After all, Ronaldo's annual salary in Juventus is 30 million euros. If he is kept for another half a year, he will have to pay Ronaldo a salary of 15 million euros. If he is sold to Manchester United, the balance inside and outside is equivalent to 35 million euros!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This money is definitely not enough to buy a big-name star, but if you just find a potential young shooter in Italy, it will be no problem at all.
20 million euros?
After Solskjaer learned about Juventus' offer, he felt very embarrassed. Who made Woodward unwilling to pay more?
In desperation, Solskjaer told Ronaldo about the matter, but in the end... Ronaldo gave his answer... Manchester United can pay 5 million pounds, and he pays the remaining transfer fee himself!
Well!
10 million euros...it's only half of it!?
Now, Solskjaer finally understood how determined Ronaldo is to return to Old Trafford and get more honors in the final stage of his career. Since Ronaldo has paid so much... then give him better treatment as much as possible in terms of the contract!
But no matter how hard Solskjaer tried, Manchester United's salary budget was placed there, and in the end he could only provide Ronaldo with a weekly salary of 300,000 pounds. Of course, various bonuses will definitely not be missing.
The result is that for Ronaldo, the treatment is far inferior to his contract at Juventus, but... he agreed without saying a word!
It only took two days. Ronaldo flew to Manchester by private plane. After signing his name on the contract, he... became a member of the "Red Devils" again!
After Ronaldo signed a contract with lightning and became a member of Manchester United again, a smile finally appeared on his face, but in Solskjaer's eyes, he found that this little brother was old!
This time, the reason why Ronaldo was so crazy that he quickly left Juventus and returned to Manchester United, even paying for transfer fees and salary cuts out of his own pocket. He really knew that this transfer transaction could not be waited, otherwise it would be ruined. He would lose the opportunity to return to Old Trafford, and also lose the opportunity to gain more honors in the last stage of his career, and even... lose attention, allowing his own business value to continue to decline!
After joining Juventus, Ronaldo found that he and his agent Mendes really overestimated the current influence of Serie A. The attention he received has completely plummeted, and his commercial value is also visible to the naked eye.
In this case, returning to the Premier League and Manchester United is definitely a crucial choice for Ronaldo!
The key is... such opportunities cannot be missed, otherwise there may be no more opportunities!
Ronaldo paid out of his own pocket and really couldn't wait until his contract with Juventus ended next summer. Now Manchester United wants to find a scorer in the winter transfer period. When the winter transfer period ends, he should find a replacement. Tomorrow summer... Manchester United doesn't need Ronaldo!
So this time, when Mendes learned that Manchester United was going to introduce a center striker as a substitute for "God Yang" during the winter transfer period, he immediately realized that this might be a chance for Ronaldo to return to Old Trafford, so he immediately contacted Ronaldo and even completed the transfer transaction at all costs in just two days!
