“Manchester United came to the conclusion that the best thing for both parties is to release CR7 this (European) summer, a year after his arrival,” published the Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo, which collects information from the English media.
The Portuguese striker, who missed Manchester United training for the third time led by the Dutchman Erik ten Hag, announced a little over a week ago that his intention was to “leave” the Old Trafford club because “he wants to play in the Champions League the next season”.
Meanwhile, The Sun newspaper reveals that Manchester United’s intention is “to try to unlock Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure as soon as possible, since they don’t want to extend it throughout the summer, while they don’t know if the Portuguese will join the pre-season tour of Asia and Australia”.
The fate of the 37-year-old attacker who has a contract with Manchester United until 2023 could now be at Chelsea, although interest from Italian Napoli also arose.
