If the gossip mills in an around the Spain are anything to go by then, Manchester United fans will have to wait a couple of seasons more to see their beloved Cristiano Ronaldo back at the Theatre of Dreams.
Sky Sports’ Spanish expert Guilem Balague is of the view that Madrid are in no mood to sell their crown jewel neither in January nor in the summer. He also said that the both United and Ronaldo are trying to reunite but the timing of the reunion is unknown to both the parties.
He told Revista de La Liga:
“It is quite clear that Manchester United are letting all this continue because they are interested in Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Cristiano Ronaldo dreams and would like to go back to Manchester United. It’s just the timing which I think people are getting wrong.
"People want this to happen in January, if possible. It’s not going to happen. In the summer? I don’t think it’s going to happen. Real Madrid have got no intention whatsoever of selling Cristiano Ronaldo next summer.
“In two years’ time I would say yes, that is possibly the time when he will be 31 going on 32, for Real Madrid to say: ‘OK, if we can cash in on him, brilliant. He has done a lot for us, but that’s it, time to move on.
“I don’t think it’s going to happen this summer. People will have to be a little bit more patient.”
