The next summer transfer period may witness a surprising and resounding deal, with the return of the current Manchester United striker, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, to his former team, Real Madrid.
Doubts swirl about Ronaldo's future at Old Trafford, despite his first season with the "Red Devils", the club he left in 2009 towards Real Madrid in a record deal at the time.
And the British newspaper, "Mirror", reported that Ronaldo may suddenly return to his former team, Real Madrid, this summer, as the Spanish royal is increasingly keen to reunite with the Portuguese star.
And the newspaper pointed out that Real Madrid has expressed a growing interest in re-signing Ronaldo, whose contract with United extends for next season, with a clause to extend it for an additional year.
Real may give Ronaldo a way out from Manchester United, who is now at great risk of not qualifying for the Champions League next season, but if the royal club fails to include its main target, French Kylian Mbappe.
United are preparing to make several changes in the team, with Dutchman Eric Ten Hag taking over as coach of the club from next season, and there are doubts about the role that Ronaldo will play with the new coach.
Ronaldo returned to playing in the Manchester United shirt for a second period, during the last summer transfer period, coming from Juventus, and the 37-year-old striker is presenting a wonderful season, despite the fluctuation of United's level and results.
The "Don" scored 23 goals since his return to Manchester, including 17 goals in the English Premier League, which made him the top scorer in the league.
It is noteworthy that Ronaldo is Real Madrid's all-time top scorer, scoring 450 goals for the royal team between 2009 and 2018.
