Three days ago, United quickly finalized Ronaldo's transfer with Juve within three hours. Now, all the personal contract details are also done and can be officially announced!
On the 31st Beijing time, Manchester United officially announced that it officially signed a contract with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo for a two-year contract, with a one-year renewal option.
According to Juventus' earlier announcement, Ronaldo's transfer fee is 15 million euros plus 8 million euros of floating terms, which need to be paid within 5 financial years.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said that the return of Ronaldo proved the unique charm of the club and he was very happy to witness Ronaldo return to the place where the dream began.
"You can't put into words the words to describe Cristiano Ronaldo (who is outstanding), who is not only an unparalleled player, but also a great man. It's not easy to play in the top flight for many years and always maintain a high level and a desire to win. There is no doubt that he will affect everyone and his arrival will also be crucial for the young players in the squad. ”
Cristiano Ronaldo left the Theatre of Dreams in 2009 with the halo of premier league titles (06-07, 07-08, 08-09), Champions League (07-08) and Ballon d'Or (2008), and for 12 years he played for Real Madrid in La Liga (2009, with a transfer fee of about 96 million euros) and Juventus in Serie A (2018, with a transfer fee of about 100 million euros).
So far, the Portuguese have won 5 Ballon d'Or awards and more than 30 major event trophies (including 5 Champions League trophies, 4 Club World Cup trophies, 7 league titles and 1 European Cup trophy and so on).
Now 36 years old, Ronaldo still hopes to impact the championship, and at the same time, it is time to "go home".
On the day of the official announcement, Manchester United club posted old photos of C Ronaldo and the old lord Ferguson on the official social media, "Child, tell the world, this is your home!" ”
On Monday, CCTV's "World Football" commented, "He has gone through the best time of his career, even if he can make his competitive state surpass everyone's 36-year-old, but he can't surpass his former self." The world of football is too cruel, and it makes everyone taste the sadness of a veteran. But fortunately, it is not always a perfect reality, or for C Luo's 'open side', because there is still a home waiting for his return, home, means to include everything. ”
"United have always had a special place in my heart and on Friday (when United announced the deal was closed) I was overwhelmed with all sorts of information. Now, I can't wait to play at Old Trafford, which is full of fans. Looking forward to meeting the team after the international match day and looking forward to a perfect season. Ronaldo said.
On social media, he also posted a long thank you for Manchester United and, more importantly, "It's for you, Sir Alex Ferguson". The relationship between the two people and father and son is obviously needless to say, and has long become a good story in football.
Manchester United meritorious defender Ferdinand has said that few players can reach such a relationship between Ronaldo and Ferguson with their coaches, "If it were not for Ferguson's communication with him before, it would be impossible for Ronaldo to return to Manchester United." ”
"The historical record has set a brilliant moment (of ours), and it will continue to be written in the future. I'm back where I belong, and it's here that together we'll make the glory come back. Ronaldo wrote that he was ready to fight for the Red Devils again.
With less than 12 hours to go before the European summer transfer market closes (6:00 Beijing time on 1 September), Manchester United has basically completed the entry and exit of personnel. This morning, journalist Romano confirmed that Welsh youngster James has joined Leeds United for a transfer fee of about 28 million euros.
Whether a "well-anticipated" back will be introduced at the last minute, Manchester United fans can only wait and see.
On the other hand, although the departure of Ronaldo will cause Juventus to generate economic losses of 14 million euros in the 2020-2021 fiscal year, the club still issued a long thank you for Ronaldo's contribution in the past 3 years. With 133 appearances, 101 goals and five trophies, juventus and C. Ronaldo will go their separate ways towards the end of the chapter.
"Juventus and C. Ronaldo have spent so many unforgettable moments together that we can relive and even remember those wonderful moments together. But there is no need for this, because everyone has their own exclusive memories related to him in their hearts. Everyone has a common affection for him that needs not be erased – because each of us will eventually remember the journey we have traveled together, and the feelings we felt on this journey. Today, the bond that began on July 10 three years ago has dissipated, but the history written will live on forever. It's been an incredible journey. ”
