Bayern Munich want Cristiano Ronaldo to replace Robert Lewandowski if the Polish goalkeeper moves to Barcelona. Also: Frenkie De Jong’s second offer from Man Utd is imminent …
THE BAYERN OFFER BY RONALDO Cristiano Ronaldo is all Manchester United fans right now. Only he should not be left to watch as the club continues its descent into the depths of mediocrity.
Apparently, Ronaldo is worried about United’s transfer business under Erik ten Hag, or his lack thereof. So much so, Record says the 37-year-old plans to leave the club this summer.
Coincidentally, Ronaldo could have a tempting Old Trafford escape route if he wants to. The AS considers that Bayern Munich is ready to move to the star of Portugal …
THE BOAT TAKES THE FIRST STEP THROUGH LEWANDOWSKI Bayern’s move, we assume, depends on the future of Robert Lewandowski. That could be in Barcelona.
We all know that Barça want the Polish goal, but doubts remain about whether they have the means. Barça have wanted to reassure everyone, especially Lewandowski, that they are seriously presenting an official offer for the 33-year-old, who only has one year left on his contract at Bayern.
The Telegraph estimates that this offer is worth up to just over £ 34 million. Barça would charge 30 million pounds up front with 4.3 million more in supplements. Basically, Barça have offered Bayern their money from Sadio Mané.
Liverpool are among the top ten net spenders in Europe since 2020 after the sale of Sadio Mane
CAVANI WAITS AS THE BOAT ALTERNATIVE. A player who watches the pursuit of Lewandowski’s Barça very closely is Edinson Cavani …
Fichajes considers that Barça is once again following in the footsteps of the Uruguayan striker, who is a free agent after leaving Man Utd, at least officially, at the end of the season. Mentally, he left in the winter.
For now, Cavani is seated, which he did for most of last season, as he appears to be his first alternative if Lewandowski cannot be bought at Bayern.
MAN UTD PREPARES ANOTHER DE JONG OFFER Barça could finance Lewandowski’s deal and a few more by selling Frenkie De Jong to United. So the Catalans are motivated to win to the last euro they can to the Red Devils.
It is understood that United have failed with an offer of 51.6 million pounds because Barça, quite reasonably, do not want to lose a player who signed for 65 million pounds.
In fact, the Manchester Evening News says that United is preparing a second offer, as Barça have made it clear that they want to guarantee 75 million pounds, with supplements as well.
Apparently, United are “negotiating hard” because they don’t want De Jong’s share to affect their ability to strengthen elsewhere. In other news, the Glazers will be paid £ 11 million in dividends today.
