The corona crisis hits international football hard. Cristiano Ronaldo could therefore leave Juventus and return to Real Madrid. Or is FC Bayern getting involved?
- The corona crisis * hits international football hard
- This is said to have the consequence that Cristiano Ronaldo Juventus should leave Turin
- His ex-club Real Madrid is therefore interested - but what does FC Bayern * have to do with it?
Munich - The fact that the corona pandemic also completely paralyzes international football has probably also been noticed by people who are generally not interested in the green grass and white leather. There is currently a debate in Germany, at least, about whether the Bundesliga might be resumed in May and games played as ghost games.
In the Spanish Primera Division and the Italian Serie A , on the other hand, it does not look as if soccer games are taking place there in a timely manner. The Corona crisis hit both countries hard, which will also push the many clubs to their limits economically . Despite the partial waiver of the football stars from FC Barcelona or Juventus Turin .
FC Bayern: transfer rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo - CR7 is said to leave Juve
As the Corriere dello Sport writes, even Juve could be forced to take further significant savings measures and is therefore thinking about significantly reducing the current luxury squad . It is probably not about the quantity, but rather about removing the absolute top earner from the salary list.
The Italian record champion is apparently ready to hand over Cristiano Ronaldo . His annual salary of 20 million euros a year could no longer be sustained by the old lady in the future. This is what Real Madrid is doing - if you believe the Italian media.
The royal are therefore interested in a return campaign. Especially since Juve for CR7 would "only" charge 60 million euros . What would be a completely astronomical and almost immoral sum in times of the Corona crisis and in view of Spain, which was also badly hit.
Cristiano Ronaldo to Bayern? Nothing in the rumor
A few months ago there were also rumors that FC Bayern should have dealt with the Cristiano Ronaldo personnel *. According to this, the Portuguese superstar should have decided to switch to the Isar because he was generally not satisfied with the Juventus project. What happened to it? Of course, this speculation was nothing but hot air.
For the German record champions *, Ronaldo, at 35, is on the one hand clearly too old and, on the other hand, he is not a player who would help the Hansi Flick * team in the long run. Robert Lewandowski * is known to have the best striker currently in his ranks - and CR7 is now lacking in speed for the outside track.
Therefore, Bayern is more concerned with Leroy Sané * from Manchester City or Timo Werner from RB Leipzig. A transfer from Kai Havertz could have been shattered due to the corona crisis, because the 120 million euros that Bayer Leverkusen demanded are currently just as illusory as the 60 million euros for Ronaldo .
FC Bayern: squad for the coming years is taking shape
Despite the crisis, the bosses on the Isar have put their nails in the past few days. Hansi Flick signed a contract until 2023. Thomas Müller also extended his 2021 contract on Säbener Strasse until 2023. And Thiago could also be seen in the Allianz Arena * in the longer term.
In terms of David Alaba and Manuel Neuer, however, things are currently a little different. Likewise, Philippe Coutinho's future at Bayern seems rather unrealistic. However, in times of the Corona crisis, only one thing is currently certain - that nothing is certain. Except maybe that Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't switch to Bayern .
