Cristiano Ronaldo would have refused 242 million euros for two years!
In July there was talk of an arrival in Rome, from Mourinho, who would have found him again after his time with Real Madrid, then at Napoli. Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Sporting Lisbon and even Barcelona seemed to have shown interest in him, but in the end it was always a stalemate.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal of the season with a penalty to Moldovan Sherif Tiraspol. For the ex-Real Madrid and Juventus champion it is the goal number 699 in his career. Ten Hag would seem totally willing to include him in the project, as he said he wanted to do already in his first interviews: "Cristiano Ronaldo is part of the project and now that he has finally unlocked I think the goals will come, we could have expected this opaque period, given the absence in pre-season. Now, however, he will have to work hard to get back to his form levels."
