Portugal football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo joined Italian giants Juventus last year from Real Madrid in a deal which is estimated at around €100 million. However, post spending only a little more than a year at Juventus, it seems like Cristiano Ronaldo is open for another move and this time it is to his former team Manchester United.

CR7 had recently made his desire of winning more Ballon d’Or titles public in an interview with Piers Morgan on ITV. The same would be difficult if he continues to be part of the Serie A side. It is in this context that reports from Don Balon, a Spanish media outlet, suggest that the superstar footballer is ready to move to Premier League heavyweights Manchester United.

“I would love [more], and I think I deserve it,” he had said about winning Ballon d’Or while interacting with Piers Morgan on ITV.

“Messi is a fantastic guy, a fantastic player. He’s in the history of football – but I think I have to have six or seven or eight to be above him. My relationship with him is, we are not friends, but we have shared this stage for 15 years.

“I have a good relationship with him and I know that he has pushed me to be a better player and I have pushed him to be a better player as well,” Ronaldo had added.

Based on the premise of this conversation, Don Balon reports are claiming that the 34-year-old is apparently ready to return to his former team. Meanwhile, Manchester United would be more than happy to have him and might even convince Juventus to sell Ronaldo for €120 million. They are reportedly ready to even make him the world’s highest-paid footballer along with Lionel Messi.
