TOP STORY: Cristiano Ronaldo could return to Real Madrid amid Karim Benzema injury concerns
As the fallout continues from Cristiano Ronaldo‘s interview about his second stint at Manchester United, Real Madrid have emerged as favourites to help the striker facilitate his exit from Old Trafford, according to Sport.
Ronaldo’s criticism of Man United manager Erik ten Hag and the club in general has opened up the potential for a move in January, with the situation between club and player seemingly irreconcilable.
Ronaldo’s problem is that few clubs can afford his salary. Manchester United, in attempting to cut ties with the striker, are negotiating with the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, to try and find an amicable agreement that ensures he leaves without United having to pay him much of his remaining salary.
That is where Real Madrid could come in. With striker Karim Benzema sustaining an injury while training in Qatar for the World Cup, Los Blancos are in the market for someone to boost their attack for the second half of the season.
