On Thursday evening - September 1 - the summer transfer window will close.
While quite a few players still hope to find a new destination in their careers, the man who most concerns journalists across Europe is Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese, who is determined to leave Manchester United, a year after making a comeback to its ranks, still hopes to move to a club that plays in the Champions League.
On the ESPN network, they uploaded an in-depth report and analyzed Ronaldo's situation, three days before the end of the window.
According to the American network, efforts were made at United to find the 37-year-old striker a club and that a move away from the Premier League would suit both parties. However, with one year left on a contract worth £500,000 a week, the lack of interest in the player is not surprising, although Napoli and his former club Sporting Lisbon still attached to his name.
The article also wrote about the relationship between Ronaldo and his friends.
"Ultimately, there will be no choice but to allow him to leave for free this week. In recent months, Ronaldo has become a controversial figure in the squad. His demand for the highest standards in training is admirable, but sources have said that he finds it difficult to accept the fact that United are completely different from the one he joined last year passed. He expects Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford to perform like Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney. When Ronaldo publicly expressed his desire to leave last July, most of his teammates were happy, because he became a thorn in the ass."

United is supposed to add Anthony Maijas today for 84 million pounds, this after two victories that came when Ronaldo came in as a substitute. Suddenly the professional team led by Erik ten Haag is no longer really interested in Ronaldo staying at any cost. "Obviously Ronaldo has become a marginal player with No clear role, other than being grumpy on the bench.
United proved they can live without his goals."
