Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn revealed the reasons why Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who wants to leave Manchester United, was not included in the list, saying that “the philosophy of Bayern is different from anything the player has represented in his career”. “.
After rumors about the Bavarian club’s five-time pursuit of the best player in the world, 37-year-old Kahn revealed the secrets of discussions within the walls of the German champion over the past ten years.
“We have discussed this within the company, otherwise we would not have done our job properly,” Kahn told local mass newspaper Bild. Personally, I consider Cristiano Ronaldo to be one of the greatest players that has ever lived on this planet.”
The red team, which lost Poland’s top scorer Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona, concluded that “despite Ronaldo’s high praise, he will not fit our philosophy in the current situation… Ronaldo is a great player, but Bayern Munich’s philosophy is completely different from everything this player has represented throughout his career.”
On Tuesday, Ronaldo returned to his club United’s training headquarters to negotiate with new Dutch coach Eric Ten Hag about his future at the Red Devils after he missed training camps in Thailand and Australia due to family reasons. .
Don arrived at Carrington’s training headquarters with his agent, George Mendish, and former team coach Sir Alex Ferguson was also seen arriving at the headquarters, while reports indicated he attended a regular board meeting with CEO Richard Arnold.
Earlier this month, Ten Hag said Ronaldo is “not for sale”: “We plan to have Ronaldo with us this season and I’m looking forward to playing him.”
In addition to Bayern, Ronaldo’s name is associated with transfers to Chelsea and Atlético Madrid.
However, Atlético Madrid president Enrique Cerezo said that the arrival of the former Real Madrid star was “virtually impossible”.
“I have said this several times already, I don’t know who came up with the story of Cristiano Ronaldo, but I will tell you that it is almost impossible for him to go to Atlético Madrid,” he told reporters on Tuesday.
He added: “Rumors are rumors and should remain rumors… If the rumors continue to feed, they will end up looking like reality, but they really aren’t.”
The former Real Madrid and Juventus star ended last season as the team’s top scorer with 24 goals. But his team finished in a disappointing sixth place in the league, excluding him from the Champions League.
United kick off their league on 7 August against their guest, Brighton, after the end of their preliminaries against Atlético Madrid, Spain in Norway and Rayo Vallecano, Spain at Old Trafford.
