Shortly before the transfer deadline, a strange rumor emerged.
Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Al-Nassr FC and move to TSV 1860 Munich.
Munich - The good news for all Lions fans in advance: Cristiano Ronaldo “wants to go to 1860 Munich”.
A little more than a year after his move from Manchester United to Al-Nassr FC, the Portuguese superstar is apparently fed up with the desert and, like some other colleagues, wants to return to Europe despite high-paying contracts.
It's fitting that the Blues are looking for a goal-scoring center forward in the fight to stay in the third division.
The five-time world footballer was apparently also offered to Borussia Dortmund last year, but the local club turned him down and the then 37-year-old signed in Saudi Arabia for an estimated 100 million euros per season.
Cristiano Ronaldo to TSV 1860 Munich?
The probability is 51 percent
Shortly before the end of the transfer window, the wildest speculations are again emerging this year.
The bad news: Neither transfer insider Fabrizio Romano nor the Sky experts sitting at the table at every transfer negotiation have so far gotten wind of the fact that the European Championship record goalscorer is toying with a move to the Isar.
A small glimmer of hope remains that it could be enough for the biggest transfer in the long history of TSV 1860 Munich.
The rumor comes from transfermarkt.de, a web portal that is generally well informed about arrivals and departures in professional football.
But doubts remain: While users estimated the probability at an incredible 100 percent on January 28th, the value fell to 45 percent by January 30th.
On the last day of the open transfer window it was at least 51 percent again.
A value that investor Hasan Ismaik has dreamed of since he started working in Munich.
1860 midfielder Julian Guttau would have to part with his jersey number for Ronaldo
One thing is clear, of course: Ronaldo would have to forego a lot of money, but over the years the 38-year-old has probably been able to build up one or two reserves.
And the cosmopolitan city of Munich has a lot to offer.
The Blues could possibly make Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez consider moving to the Isar with a chic costume and the obligatory Oktoberfest visit in September.
It could be the solution to many problems on Grünwalder Straße.
Because if the lions manage the entire package, even for once the hopelessly divided shareholders might once again agree.
It would be a dream come true for the fans and Julian Guttau could certainly be convinced to hand over his jersey number to the new leader.
