When it comes to reporting on player transfers, Italian journalist Romano has a high degree of authority. Basically, the news reported by him, the fans can rest assured that the tree is waiting for the official announcement. But earlier, a report by Romano about Cristiano Ronaldo had been questioned, and his authority had been challenged. Let's see what he said first.
The reporter revealed in the live broadcast that Manchester United was very close to signing The French young midfielder Camaringa in July this year, but at the last moment, Manchester United decided to spend the money on Ronaldo, and Camaringa eventually joined Real Madrid.
When United fans saw such reports, their first reaction was to lament that their home team had missed a defensive midfielder with such potential. Subsequently, there may also be fans who are dissatisfied or even complain, only for the Manchester United executives to give up the future for the sake of the present. But let's think about it, is Romano's news really reliable? Not necessarily.
Yes, before this year's summer window opened, manchester United and Camaranga were full of rumors. Since the player himself had explicitly rejected Rennes' request for a contract extension at the time, the player's agent also expressed the possibility of landing in the Premier League. As a result, United, which had a need to strengthen their backs at the time, were seen as the most likely place to go for Camaringa. However, Camaringa eventually went to Real Madrid, and Manchester United did not make up for the back throughout the summer window, but instead pressed the whistle to sign Ronaldo. So does United's missing Out on Camaringa have anything to do with Cristiano Ronaldo? Not at all!
Manchester United is close to signing Camaringa in July, while C Ronaldo joined Manchester United at the end of August, near the end of the transfer window, these 2 transfers from the timeline point of view completely irrelevant. In fact, United had no idea of signing Cristiano Ronaldo in July. At that time, United's main focus on reinforcement positions were wingers and centre-backs, while Sancho and Varane were the number one targets in their respective positions. In addition, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was thinking about the back and the right-back, and did not consider bringing in a new center. Because Cavani had been persuaded to stay for another year, Greenwood had already begun to pick the girder, and Martial could also play in the No. 9 position.
It's just that after the end of the European Championship and C Ronaldo's return to Juve, the rumors of leaving the team suddenly began to heat up. City, unable to bring in Harry Kane, have also begun to see Cristiano Ronaldo as a replacement and have begun to act. In order to avoid this embarrassing deal, Manchester United finally persuaded C Ronaldo to reject Manchester City and choose Manchester United. In addition, many famous stars of Manchester United have also actively participated in it, jointly promoting the return of C Ronaldo.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly absurd to say that a transaction that occurred in the last moments of the transfer window and was completed in 2 days affected United's decision in July.
In addition, Ronaldo's transfer fee is 15 million yuan, and it is paid in installments. Carmavinga's contract is about to expire, the transfer fee will not be too high, and finally Real Madrid settled the deal with a float of 31 million + 9 million. From the perspective of transfer fees, Cristiano Ronaldo is unlikely to be an obstacle for United to sign Camaringa.
The main reasons United missed Camaranga were 3 points. First, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had other preferred options at the time – West Ham midfielder Dekran Rice – and second, Kamawinga's personal wishes. He is a dream player who has dreamed of one day playing for Real Madrid since he was a child; third, due to the heavy cost of wingers and central defenders, which basically exhausted United's budget, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided not to buy a back for the time being in the summer window.
As a result, United's abandonment of Camarenga was entirely due to multiple factors. If Romano can all be involved in Ronaldo, it is reasonable to be questioned by fans.
