Cristiano Ronaldo is a new player of the Manchester United. A sensational market turnaround, all in one day, which took the Portuguese from leaving Juventus to the sensational switch from City to the Red Devils, the only team in the end to present an official offer to Juve for the player.
A hectic day, with CR7 saying goodbye to his Juventus teammates in the morning: a cold farewell, a visit lasting just half an hour in the Continassa facility to say goodbye to Allegri and the players. The next step seemed inevitable: a transfer to City, a club that until this morning had clearly had an advantage over the other contenders.
Then the dramatic turn of events: the reigning English champions decided not to present any official offer and the hypothesis of a move to the other side of Manchester, United, which had moved during the night to understand the feasibility of the operation, began to take shape more and more.
An operation that turned out to be more feasible than expected: City's refusal paved the way and an agreement on the contract figures was reached in a short time. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner will earn 29 million euros per year, slightly less than what he earned in the last three years in black and white. An agreement was also reached on the player's price tag: 15 million euros plus 8 million in bonuses. Quick and painless, at 17:51 the official announcement from the Red Devils arrived. Twelve years later, Ronaldo returns to the team that first launched him into the football that counts.
