DBasia.news – If Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United, AS Roma would be one of the candidates to be his new team. And this rumor got the attention of Francesco Totti.
Ronaldo has reportedly submitted a transfer request to Manchester United officials. The failure of the Red Devils to secure a slot into the Champions League is believed to be the main cause.
With his age, Ronaldo certainly doesn’t want to miss every opportunity to win the Champions League again. Moreover, the future of Manchester United is still in uncertainty under the tutelage of Erik ten Hag.
The emergence of Roma as one of Ronaldo’s newest club candidates didn’t just emerge out of thin air. It has to do with Jose Mourinho and Jorge Mendes.
As is known, Mendes is an agent of Ronaldo and Mourinho. Uniting the two clients in one club is not impossible to do.
But Totti doubts Ronaldo’s move to Roma will materialize. He highlighted the financial factor as the main obstacle.
“To be honest, I never believed Ronaldo would go to Roma. I know the reality of the current situation,” Totti told Sky Sport Italia.
Signing Ronaldo is easier said than done. In addition to having to pay transfer fees, the megastar’s high salary is the main obstacle.
Last season, Ronaldo was the highest-paid player in the Premier League. He earns about 500 thousand pounds per week.
This amount is a challenge for any Serie A club to reach. In addition, the fact that Roma will also not be competing in the Champions League has further reduced the chances of bringing Ronaldo.
