Cristiano Ronaldo Transfer Rumors: Manchester United, Chelsea, Man City Options For Real Madrid Star In EPL Return?

Sep 15, 2014 08:33 AM EDT

Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the best player in the world and the Real Madrid forward has more star power than anyone else and reports say that he could be on his way out of La Liga without a substantial raise next year, as he is making over $500 K per week on his current deal and could demand more and teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Man City or other EPL sides could tempt him with a big raise.

According to Pro Soccer Talk, Ronaldo could demand over $800 K per week next year on his salary after previously signing a contract with Real Madrid in the summer of 2013. Ronaldo had been frustrated by not winning a title, but he did that last year with Real in the Champions League and with the team finishing near the top of La Liga, he could be more interested in staying now.

Ronaldo previously was with Manchester United and while they could be in the mix to bring him back, they have enough money wrapped up in their new signings along with Wayne Rooney. Chelsea has deep pockets as well and they could be in the mix and one thing in Man Utd's favor is the fact that Radamel Falcao has the same agent as Ronaldo.

Real Madrid doesn't want Ronaldo to leave obviously, but they have enough star power now with Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez to get by. It would be very hard to replace the 29 year old superstar, but anything is possible when it comes to Ronaldo and what he will do next. Adding Ronaldo would be huge for any EPL team and for a club like Chelsea, it could put the team over the top.
