Soccer Transfer Rumors: Cristiano Ronaldo Leaving Real Madrid? PSG, Manchester United To Make Bid?
Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo has been rumored to be moving away from the Spanish capital for quite some time now with Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United ready to make bids for £90 million, as reported by Mirror.
The forward seems to be content in Spain but is open to leaving Madrid saying, per Marca, "I'm happy at Real Madrid. I want to win more silverware and I feel great, but as I've said millions of times before, you never know what the future holds. I'm really happy here right now. I'm a professional. I always try to give it my all and I'm comfortable at Real Madrid."
The Portuguese international has nothing left to prove in La Liga as he recently became Real Madrid's all-time goal scorer with 324, eclipsing Raul's record, according to Real Madrid's website. Ronaldo scored the goals in just 308 appearances and has won the La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League with Madrid.
As per ESPN, the 30-year-old also recorded his 500th career goal against Malmo FF in Sweden. He has scored 446 for professional clubs Sporting, Manchester United and Real Madrid while scoring 55 for the Portugal.
Ronaldo also told Marca that he is happy on breaking Raul's record and scoring his 500th career goal. "I'm really happy and pleased. It wasn't something I set out to do when I joined Real Madrid, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to beat the record. Raúl sent me a message saying that he hoped I scored many more and I know that he meant it," he said.
AS English posted on Twitter that Ronaldo jokingly corrected a reporter who said "500 goals now Ronaldo" with "I think it's 501." Manchester United did not waste any time in congratulating their favorite transfer target on Twitter.
Recently appearing for the BBC Documentary "Wayne Rooney – The Man Behind The Goals," Ronaldo said that he could play with his former partner at United in the future. "He's a fantastic team player and he scores goals. I miss playing with him. Maybe in the future we will play together again," he said, as quoted by Express.
Fans at Old Trafford should not be so excited about the news as NESN reports that Ronaldo prefers PSG over United when he decides to leave Madrid. The French club are looking to replace Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is set to leave Paris once his contract expires at the end of the 2015-2016 season.
