Hahaha I know right
Ronaldo maybe could have gotten more money in China at some point, but moving anywhere outside Europe would be a death knell to any relevance whatsoever in football. Considering his obsession with goal tallies, records, and individual awards it was obvious that wasn't going to happen. As it is, Juventus was probably the only team that deemed it affordable and worthwhile to shell out that kind of money and he ended up there so it's hard to feel sorry for him honestly.
spot on, going to Juventus wasn’t done out of some “noble challenge” he wasn’t happy that flo wasn’t willing to give him the contract he wanted so he looked elsewhere. I’m not even faulting Ronaldo for that, but this “looking for a new challenge” needs to die off.
as for him signing for more money in the US, MLS has a salary cap, so he certainly wouldn’t be making more in the US than Real Madrid or Juventus
The MLS has a designated player rule so clubs can sign superstars and they are not part of the cap program.
Which club would offer him such an extravagant offer? Last time it happened was in 2007 with Beckham - 4year contract worth $250million
So CR could demand something similar
Ronaldo will go to the MLS and marry Kim Kardashian now she's cutting Kanye to the curb and wanting Next!
it's all about expanding the CR7 brand. He can't achieve anymore in Europe.. only repeat.. might as well go and sample the American dream like Bestie, Pele, Becks, Eusebio etc did

That's not fully accurate. MLS initially paid him about $25m/4 years in salary (he later extended) but he had other potential revenue streams that could tally upwards into the $250m range, many of which were his sponsorships carried from his European days. It was basically a PR hype machine to make it look like he was getting so much more money in the US, atypical.

the highest salary the MLS has ever given in more recent times was Zlatan at 7 million USD. Ronaldo makes 31 million euro a year. Absolutely no way a single MLS team can afford to do that after Beckham’s salary hampered the funding to pay rest of the squad
CR7 turned his back on the free kick, resulting in the Porto goal.
I don’t think he is bother to move to somewhere which pay him the most. He earns around 40m a year from Instagram alone, no club could afford that anyway. I think n he would prefer to just stay in Europe and become at least relevance in top level until he retires, either stay in Juventus or move to PSG.
for sure, he still wants CL, but I think if Madrid met his contract demands he never would have left.
A reminder that italy introduced a ridiculous taxation in earnings outside the country shortly before cristiano signed for juventus...
There is probably no other country where he can make anywhere near what he makes in Italy. €50M every year from sponsorships taxed for €400.000....

It seems that Juventus wants to get rid of Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid doesn't want him back. Ultimately, Cristiano Ronaldo was sadly wasted in Juventus, the club put all their eggs in one basket instead of actual good coaches and making a great team in the whole, Juventus' midfield is really lacking. The transfer of CR7 to Juve was bad for him and for Juve.
Would you guys like to see Cristiano Ronaldo back to United next season?

I think his only option right now is to stay at Juve
No one will pay him what they're paying him
PSG need to go all out for him and Messi. It'd be worth it just to see the internet explode

There's gotta be sides he could fit into but he'd have to take a considerable wage reduction I'd think.
Edit: Is Monaco still bankrolled by a sugar daddy/could he fit in there? What about Chelsea (if they make the CL next year)? Make the jump to a Milan or Roma? Go to a Leipzig and help them overtake Bayern?

BBC: Zidane would not discuss rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a return to Real - who are eight points behind La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid - after the Portuguese forward's Juventus were knocked out of the Champions League by Porto on Tuesday.
"Everyone knows what Cristiano is to Madrid, what he's achieved here, what we think about him and everything he did here was magnificent," Zidane said.
"But right now he's a Juventus player and I can't say more than that. A lot of things have been said but we need to be respectful."

Nah. Magnificent player and a legend here for me, but amongst other things, we should not be breaking our recruitment policy of signing younger players who can give us more than around 6 years of service if we want them to, and absolutely screw up the wage structure. The man is brilliant, but the man is also 36. Not worth agitating the likes of Bruno and Pogba in contract negotiations if they end up more productive than him.
Other marquee signings like Haaland and Sancho wouldn’t come with these problems. We just need to go for them instead.
Yes
We'd be top of the league now with him instead of Martial.
City is too good. They won 21 games, drew 5 and lost only 3. And that's because they started the season badly, only fully founding their ground from December onwards. Before their loss to United last round, City had won 14 matches straight. City has the best attack and best defense in the league. 68 points. That's an amazing campaign by any critery, it only seems lesser because of the insanely high standards set by Liverpool and City before. United, meanwhile, is 11 points behind City in the table, if we assume that United wins their game-in-hand.

Don't be silly.
Ronaldo has 20 goals in 21 games in Serie A compared to Martial's 4 in 22 games in Premier League. Is it so far fetched to think an extra 16 goals would have got United 11/12 more points?
Why on earth would you extrapolate Ronaldo's goal averages from Seria A to the premier league when the scoring has been higher in seria A than the premier League the past couple of years?
Moreover, why do you discount Ronaldo's negative effect on his team's play. Juventus were ravaging everyone domestically and regressed when Ronaldo joined.
And furthermore...if United would be top of the league now with Ronaldo in the side, why aren't Juventus top of the league now with him in the side?
Ronaldo has been getting fewer chances than Martial throughout this season.
Juventus had much better midfielders a few years ago than they do now.
yeah it would still be city on top.
And 7 of Ronaldo’s goals have been penalties and we have Bruno for those.
He's performed admirably for a 36 year old, but at the end of the day no one can fight Father Time. To his credit he was supposed to be finished years ago, but somehow always kept coming back and even managed the remarkable CL winning streak.
Who knows, maybe he can still find another top level, but he'll need to rely much more on his teammates and manager than he did in the past.

1) Yes
2) Hell Yes
3) OH Hell Yes...
in that order..
On a side note, why can't Ronaldo play for us just 1 season without having United paying him ridiculous amount per week? No that he needed the money to pay bills right.
I mean, can't he accept a $50,000 per week for one last swansong at United for old time sake. If i were him, i would play for free..
Do you have an ingrained pathology that impels you to make stuff up? Ronaldo has not been getting fewer chances than Martial. You could make up a case for Ronaldo without resorting to openly lying.
As you said, he joined a team that had won 7 titles in a row, including several domestic doubles, and they aren't top of seria A despite having the best squad by a country mile. It's typical of the delusion that exemplifies Ronaldo's brigade to assume that Ronaldo joining a United team that doesn't have the best squad in England and that hasn't really been competitive in the league since 2013 would win it because Ronaldo joined us.
Where does it say that?
I'm still waiting for your proof that he fought Alonso
Would probably watch every PSG game next season if they signed him AND Messi.
Proper box office that would be just for one season. Only club around where there's even a small chance that could happen.

Beyond his current contract, I don't think he can command such extravagant wages anymore, not at his age. Unless it comes with his image rights, which he might have sold to a third party.
Would make one hell of a story for him to come back to where he became what he is today.

Nonsense. Martial has had 40 shots on goal this season. Ronnie has had 100
May be something to do with Ronaldo being better at finding the time/space to shoot?
Not the point though is it, you said Ronaldo had fewer chances to score...
ronaldo is well ahead of him on shots taken, absolutely absurd to say martial gets more chances per shot than Ronaldo. Ronaldo takes more shots than nearly anyone else in the world
