OM Mercato: Lately, the idea of a transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo in Marseilles has gained momentum on the web. Information quickly denied.
OM Mercato: Marseille never saw the Cristiano Ronaldo track again
The future of Cristiano Ronaldo continue to fuel the summer transfer window. One year from the end of his contract with Manchester United, the Portuguese superstar finds himself in a very delicate situation in the Premier League. The 37-year-old striker doesn’t really fit into the coach’s plans Erik Ten Hag, who prefers to put on other younger profiles to animate his offensive sector. The proof, the former Real Madrid striker was left on the bench during the last matches of the Reds Devils in the league.
A treatment that has become difficult for CR7, who was planning to change clubs this summer. The five-time Ballon d’Or would above all have given absolute priority to the possibility of joining a club qualified for the Champions League. And that’s good, since Olympique de Marseille fulfills this condition perfectly. As a result, many Marseille supporters are pushing for his coming to OM. In particular, they launched the hashtag RonaldOM# on social networks in this sense.
Some observers from Olympique de Marseille, such as Laurent Paganelli, also confirmed this trend, ensuring that the possibility of seeing the former Juventus striker land at OM was very real. Information quickly denied by the journalist of ProvenceAlexander Jacquin. “At the risk of being called a dream breaker or something even more virulent, we must be clear: OM have NEVER studied the possibility of bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo…. There was NEVER any discussion”he posted on his Twitter before adding: “we are in the same delirium as the OM Sale”.
OM Mercato: Why Ronaldo’s arrival in Marseille seems impossible
This denial is therefore very bad news for OM supporters, who were already dreaming of a sensational duel in Ligue 1 between Cristiano Ronaldo and son great rival Lionel Messi, arrived last summer at Paris Saint-Germain. One year from the end of his contract with Manchester United, CR7 has a good chance of leaving the Red Devils, but his arrival at OM seems completely unfeasible for various reasons.
Mainly, the Portuguese would receive around 17.4 million euros per year at Manchester United. A salary completely out of reach of Marseille finances. Then OM, just like PSG, are under threat from Financial Fair Play. This constitutes a major obstacle for this improbable transfer. “Financial fair play requires you to keep the payroll to an income ceiling. The arrival of CR7 at his current level of remuneration, or even a little reduced, can explode this ratio ”said banker David Gluzman in remarks reported by foot market. Thus, OM were not really interested in recruiting the former Real Madrid star this summer. This track is still a mere fantasy.
