Transfer News: Cristiano Ronaldo
Will Cristiano Ronaldo join Manchester City, play with Lionel Messi at PSG, or stay put in Turin? Let’s take a look at what Juventus would miss without him.
Transfer talks of Cristiano Ronaldo moving to Manchester City are floating about this morning. There’s been reports that Ronaldo has been looking for a change for a while. But then again, we have Wayne Rooney, Ronaldo’s former teammate saying things like Ronaldo wouldn’t dare join Manchester City this transfer window. We will find out very soon. But one thing is certain, his absence is noticeable.
What Ronaldo's absence would mean
Ronaldo is the only player to have topped the scoring charts in the Premier League, Serie A, and LaLiga. In the 2020/21 season, he was at the top with 29 goals, followed by Romelu Lukaku with 24. In 134 games, Ronaldo has put up 101 goals and 20 assists. He’s won two Serie A trophies, one Coppa Italia, and two Supercoppa Itialiana. In all competitions since 2018, with Ronaldo, Juventus has won 68% of the time as opposed to 54% without him.
Will we see Ronaldo take on one more big challenge? Time will (very soon) tell.
