It isn’t a secret that superstar forward Cristiano Ronaldo is unhappy at Manchester United. Ronaldo tried to force a move during the summer and is expected to try again during the January transfer window. If he does, Inter Miami CF is reportedly ready to offer him a way out.
According to British outlet The Daily Star, Miami is eager to try and convince Ronaldo to swap the Premier League with MLS. They are ready to make him the highest-paid player in league history by far, with a figure of around $33 million annually being mentioned. Chicago Fire’s winger Xherdan Shaqiri is currently the league’s highest-paid player, with $8 million on an annual basis.
However, Inter is facing an uphill battle to make a move happen. Manchester United is reluctant to let Cristiano Ronaldo go considering that they are thin in the attacking department and don’t have much money to spend around in January on Ronaldo’s potential replacement.
It is also hard to believe that Ronaldo would be willing to come to the United States, at least now. The 37-year-old believes he can still perform at a high level and wants to join a club that can give him an opportunity to play in UEFA Champions League and compete for trophies.
Under new Man Utd coach Erik Ten Hag, Ronaldo only nine games in all competitions and made one start in Premier League. He has managed to score only one goal so far.
