Between the indecision and the lack of certainty regarding the future, the strangest and most atypical outline of the soap opera that has engulfed Cristiano Ronaldo since the end of last season It has to do with the almost absolute silence of the Portuguese player. A silence that begins with the non-existence of interviews, that extends to social networks and that has only been broken by spaced photographs of workouts in the gym or with the eldest son and closest friends. A silence that, this Friday, had its deepest cut in months.
On Instagram, through his official account, Cristiano Ronaldo seems to have spent some time looking at the fan page posts that spread alleged news or rumors about the future of the captain of the National Team. And it was not restricted to a simple analysis: commented where you wanted to comment, reacted to what you wanted to react to, and replied to what you wanted to reply to. Even if these comments, reactions or responses have little or nothing to do with what will actually happen in the next season.
Now, this Wednesday and taking into account the possibility that Ronaldo will go to Atl. Madrid after having made history for several years in rivals Real Madrid, fans mattresses took a clear position. In the first pre-season preparation match for Diego Simeone’s team, against Numancia, some supporters displayed a huge banner in the stands saying “CR7 is not welcome”, CR7 is not welcome. On Instagram, after one of those fan pages shared a photo of that moment, the Portuguese player limited himself to commenting with several emoji crying laughing.
In another post, again edited by a fan page, Cristiano Ronaldo went further. It was mentioned in the exchange that Jorge Mendes had told Manchester United officials that the striker was determined to leave the club – in the ensuing comment, the player again kept the suspense. “It is impossible not to talk about me one day. Otherwise, the press doesn’t make any money. They know that if they don’t lie, they can’t get people’s attention. Keep going, one day you will get some good news, ” Shooting.
It should be remembered that, already this week and according to The Athletic, Jorge Mendes will have stayed talks with Sporting about a possible return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Sporting this season. However, it also adds two possible major obstacles: 1) the complex operation that would be to find money to satisfy what the captain of the Seleção receives; 2) the reservations that Rúben Amorim would have due to the impact that his arrival could have, on the squad and in the dressing room. Therefore, three main hypotheses remain on the table: retention at Manchester United, an eventual transfer to Atl. Madrid and a possible return to Alvalade.
