Would love it but i'd prefer Mbappé honestly
And we're still going to need to sign a proper #9 anyways, Mbappé fits the bill
He was born to play in Madrid, and everything was well on track
Nostradamus himself says it in his predictions of 2018
“the big war will start in France and then all Europe will be attacked, it will be long and terrifying for everyone…and then finally there will be peace but only a few will enjoy it”.(we will start with Ney and later will be tapping up around Europe.).
I imagine that right now you are thinking "Carvajal has put solid reasons on the table, but Nostradamus is very ambiguous about France." Yes, you're right, maybe he means Mbappé
In short, I would love him, delightful technique, controversial player who should reach maturity and demonstrate once and for all everything that has inside.
Im a huge admirer of Ronaldo and will never forget his performances for United, once SAF had worked on him, lol. I always hoped he would return to United, but its too late now; hes still a fantastic player but at 33 his best days are behind him and paying upwards of a million for him, plus his sky high wages is simply too big an outlay. If PSG are willing to do so, Im pleased for Ronaldo to get one last big contract, even if he goes to China.Is there any chance that United will hijack the deal and sign Ronaldo? It's worked with Lukaku
All these years waiting for him to come back home and now when he finally leaves Madrid, he goes to Juve. Tragic.
We will live to regret this forever, if we don't sign him back.
He was born to play in Madrid, and everything was well on track, but first his father and then Satan, reincarnated in Rosell, took him down on the way to perdition. It is written in the stars that he will amaze us in the Bernabéu, his brightness when looking at the sky has illuminated the heart of all Madridistas. We all dream of the same thing.

Great post.Great player, great personality and example but I'd rather not go for him and I expect the relative ease of Serie A will appeal to him. He has nothing to prove in England and can only do worse if he came back. He'll win a few easy leagues in Serie A, score a grip of goals and can really rest himself for the big European games. If he wins the Champions League with Juventus he's an absolute hero there and will have all the stats and trophies. Nobody won it more times, nobody has won it with more teams, scored the most goals etc; etc; Good time to leave Madrid too on the back of three straight CL titles and still averaging over a goal a game there.
Why wouldn't Perez give him to you if he would give him to Juve?
Nah … you need to stop being a retirement home for big earners and look to the future.
Dunno. I don't want another primadonna on astronomical wages who will only make others in our team want to earn more aswell.
I think I'd rather have Hazard + a top striker instead of just Neymar.
I'll take the GOAT.
He'll single handedly win us the league and get us into CL winning contention.

Not sure if Real fans would be happy with Hazard and his disappearing acts.
I do not think much. Maybe it was another notch in the belt but the problems are coming from before
Don‘t believe it will happen.
But if it does, is that Juventus as favourites for next years CL?
Perrin
Cancelo Benatia Chiellini Sandro
Can Pjanic
Costa Dybala Ronaldo
Higuain
Looks mighty fine. Maybe Benatia, Higuain and Can not good enough compared to Barca/Real. Though it remains to be seen how Real would replace him. They need a CF more than a winger. Isco will play much for sure and Bale has redeemed himself. They need goals from the center.

You sound like one of those insufferable Ronaldo loyalists from Toronto. Are from Toronto by any chance?
I'm pretty sure Higuain is a goner.
His agent said just this week that there are no talks with Chelsea and he wants to respect his contract with Juventus. He also said it would be great to see Ronaldo and Higuain playing together again.
That ended all speculation about Higuain leaving.
That's the problem - he won't. He didn't do that for Madrid either - not even close.
You dream too big. One of many good reasons why he shoulnd't make the move back and try something new with less pressure like at Juve. He's 34 soon ffs.
He did though. Especially in 2017.
I don't know about La Liga but in CL he certainly didn't as i have watched the quarter finals very closely. And to talk about 'single handedly' if you have a team full of pure world class behind you (Modric, Kroos, Ramos, Marcelo etc.) which are all working for you is ridiculous. If this was the case, why he didn't make Portgual a world champion - single handedly, back to back etc.?
How will Cristiano and Dybala get on?
If the rumours are true he would be better off going to Juve than coming here. The intensity of the Premier League would not prolong his career as much as the Italian game would.
Unless we could get him for half the money I think there are more important areas in our squad that need that investment.

Ignores the Juventus side of things.
Those pure World Class players were nowhere to be seen when the team faltered at the hands of Wolfsburg 2-0 in the 1st leg of the 2016 CL quarter finals. It was Ronaldo who carried them on his shoulders to overturn the deficit by scoring a hat-trick in the 2nd leg to put his team through to the semis. No Ronaldo and the team is most likely out at that very point.
In 2016/17 the team went down early to Bayern in the 1st leg at the very same stage of the competition and were being completely outplayed and overrun on the park. Up steps Ronaldo against the run of play to make it 1-1 and shock Bayern with an excellent finish on the volley. He then gets Javi Martinez 2 bookings in the space of 10 mins to get him sent off after some smart dribbling play. Bayern are then reduced to 10 men and only then do Modric and Kroos start playing. And ofcourse, Ronaldo steps up and scores the winner giving his team a golden advantage going into the next round. Don't think many players other than Ronaldo would have been capable of turning a match on it's head so swiftly. Ofcourse, in the return leg he scores a hat-trick and in the very next round against Atleti scores another hat-trick (only 3 goals of the game).
Was one of the main reasons Madrid were able to win La Liga in 2012. Was also pivotal in the run-in for La Liga in 2017 with crucial goals against Sevilla (home); Celta & Malaga (both away).
He doesn't have the best relation with Jose , i don't think we even try to get him anyway.
Nah even if he did well in italy ( which slower pace league ) the ship has long sailed.
No.
This is Ronaldo we're talking about. He did do it for Madrid. You must be forgetting how he owned the Champions League. Do you recall in 2017 how he had the toughest road to the final and was scoring against the best of defences for fun?
These rules don't apply to Ronaldo.
You're from Atlanta. You don't have the right to an opinion.
Couple of seasons with Juve, then another couple in the MLS. Surely will get to represent Portugal in 2020 and 2022. Not a bad ending to his career, silverware with Juve is almost a certainty. The big question is will he be able to carry Juve to CL glory? I think no way.
Guillem Balague stated that Mendez did ask Man Utd if they wanted Ronaldo but we declined. Make of that what you will.
If he does go it's sad that money is a factor in his decision. He's at one of the best clubs in the world.
I still think he's staying put. Real can't afford to lose him.

Good. I may be in the minority here but I hope we don’t even entertain the idea of signing him.
He won’t play wide-right, and I’ll be damned if I want to relegate Lukaku to the bench.
We created an in-balance signing Alexis Sanchez, why the hell would we double-down on this with Ronaldo.
I’d rather we use the 100 mill to boost Martial’s contract and sign potential for the right-side.
Adding Ronaldo would virtually guarantee the league and going deep into the CL (potentially winning it).
Shortsighted for us. Good if we aren’t in for him. Decent for Juve and Série A and the desperation for CL, however if they end up selling Dybala or something, that will be very strange.
No player in the world guarantees anything, if you think Ronaldo guarantees a league title how did Madrid finish 17 points behind Barcelona this season?
Signing Ronaldo would make no sense for United and it would make no sense for Ronaldo to go to United at this stage of his career.
I doubt Madrid would let him go so easily if he truly was the best player in the world.
Besides that, you clearly didn't grasp the point I was making.
It's because Madrid Defense has been mediocre this season and not Ronaldo's below average performances. If you add someone as ruthless as Ronaldo in your attack you are bound to improve.
Madrid most likely don't wanna give into his wage demands due to age which is sort've reasonable. Although, you could argue that should be thrown out of the window since he IS Ronaldo and still operating at a very high level. If he was still 27, I'm sure Madrid would match Messi's wages without 2nd thought.
