Cristiano Ronaldo Transfer Odds

Wouldn't it just be the most outrageous summer of all time if Lionel Messi left Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain just as Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester City. As of now, the Premier League champions are the favourite for the Portuguese legend to join, as he sits at 6/4 to make the move back to Manchester.

This transfer would cause the football world to meltdown. After six years in Manchester with Manchester United, Ronaldo brought home a Champions League and three Premier League titles in a row, while he also won the first of his five Ballon d'Or's here too.

Ronaldo has always confirmed his love for his old side in the Premier League, referring to Sir Alex Ferguson as his 'father' in football and stating that the money wouldn't change a move to Manchester City, back when he was 30 and the club had just won the Premier League in 2014.

It does look as if this transfer might just go through in some areas. The statement from Harry Kane means he is now staying at Tottenham Hotspur, forcing Pep Guardiola to get another goalscorer from somewhere, and despite the £100m signing of Jack Grealish at left-wing, Ronaldo is Ronaldo, and anyone would break the bank for him.

As of now, it seems like it all comes down to a decision from the five-time Champions League winner and whether or not he is comfortable with betraying his old side.

French champions Paris Saint-Germain were once the favourites to sign Ronaldo in order to step up their hunt for the Champions League crown that they desperately crave, but with the addition of Messi, this one seems near enough impossible now.

The Ligue 1 outfit have lost their title in France after Lille triumphed, but with Achraf Hakimi, Sergio Ramos, Messi, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Georgino Wijnaldum all joining in the summer, they well on course to win everything

Ronaldo remains 9/1 to join PSG, but it really doesn't seem like it will go through right now, but should Kylian Mbappe leave for Real Madrid, it might just make this one get a bit closer.

Former club Manchester United follow in very closely behind PSG on this list, as it is no secret that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to add a new striker to his cavalry.

Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani looks unable to play every game at the age of 34-years-old, whilst Ronaldo is still in his peak in terms of physical fitness, which is backed by the number of goals that he has scored for Juventus this season.

The signature of Ronaldo would be a major statement from the Old Trafford club who are looking to win their first Premier League title since the 2012/13 season. With Ronaldo purchasing property in Manchester at Piccadilly Gardens, as he is in the process of making a luxury hotel in the city centre, rumours seem to have intensified about him returning to Old Trafford for the first time as a United player since the summer of 2009.

Ronaldo’s last tenure at the Red Devils saw him leave with, three Premier League titles, a Ballon d’Or and a Champions League to his name, meaning that his marketability would be through the roof.

Ronaldo is priced at 18/1 to make a return to Old Trafford in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Another former club in the shape of Sporting Lisbon are rumoured to be looking at a move for Ronaldo.

The 36-year-old last played for Sporting in 2003, having spent six years at the Liga Nos outfit before his move to United. A return to his homeland where he would be playing in a division outside of Europe’s top five leagues would be that of a fairy-tale, as he is still in the peak of his powers, but, with Sporting having just won the league for the first time since 2002, he could be tempted to return there for what could be his final few seasons in football.

Ronaldo is priced at 25/1 to move back to Sporting in the next transfer window.

Real Madrid are also on this list of clubs that are interested in signing the Portuguese striker.

Ronaldo left Real for Juve back in the summer of 2018 and had an incredible time at the Santiago Bernabeu, winning the Champions League four times, with his goals taking centre stage throughout each campaign.

Real have since struggled in general without Ronaldo’s presence, as their replacements for the Portuguese striker in Mariano and Luka Jovic haven’t lived up to their potential, as former Lyon man Mariano has scored just 11 goals since 2018, whilst Jovic score two goals in 32 appearances, and has since been loaned back to Eintracht Frankfurt, where he has found the back of the net just four times in 18 matches.

Karim Benzema has stepped out of the shadows this season for Real, scoring 28 goals in 43 matches, but, their second top scorer is Casemiro with just seven, a huge deficit in goals which Los Blancos must look to fill if they are to challenge on all fronts next season.

Ronaldo has the odds of 22/1 to re-sign for Real Madrid.

Could a move to America be on the cards for Ronaldo?

Well, bookmakers have a move to the MLS being priced at 28/1 for Ronaldo, which seems fair, as he would essentially be sacrificing peak years of his career, although it would be a move that would cause shockwaves throughout world football, as well as increasing his brand even more in America.

Inter Miami or LA Galaxy would most likely be the obvious destinations for the 36-year-old, as Inter have former United teammate Phil Neville managing them, as well as former Juventus teammates Gonzalo Higuain and Blaise Matuidi on the playing staff too. Whilst the Galaxy are regarded as the biggest team in the country, and it would give Ronaldo the perk of living in Los Angeles.

A move to the MLS is priced at 28/1 for the 36-year-old this summer.
