Cristiano Ronaldo could be on the look out for a new club this summer as he doesn’t quite fit into new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag’s tactical style.
And, according to suggestions made in the Italian media, that has left Roma dreaming a reunion with manager Jose Mourinho in the Italian capital.
La Repubblica claim that the Portugal captain will be looking for a new club but is unlikely to find any suitors among the top tier of Europe’s sides with their focus on younger talents.
That means he will be on the lookout for a club who could use his personality as a springboard to more success, having won their first European trophy since 1961.
Of course, Ronaldo’s wages would be an issue, though the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes – who has an excellent relationship with Roma – could be attracted by the tax benefits in Rome, the report adds.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo and Mourinho did not separate on the best of terms following the manager’s acrimonious exit after a three-year spell at Real Madrid in 2013.
The report suggests Roma’s FFP issues could eventually prove a stumbling block and that opens the door to a potentially stunning return to former club Sporting CP who, unlike the Giallorossi and United, are in the Champions League.
Ronaldo spent three seasons in Serie A, from 2018 to 2021, with Juventus, where he won Serie A on two occasions and the Coppa Italia once.

We’re not in the CL. The article is a waste of bandwidth.
1. I believe we could not use tax advantages because he would have to be 2 years abroad, not just one. HThe only way Roma can pay him is give him 100% from jersey sale.
2. No CL
3. Other guys would learn a lot about training and mentality from him, but man 37y old Ronaldo is not guarantee of success in 2022 football. he doesn´t work for the squad which is opposite if whatMou wants.
4. These articles only arise because Mendes is his agent, that´s all.
I would only take him for free, wages from merchandise, and max. 30 minutes a match.
Poor Roma !
Not happening, nonsense.
Roma why are u in CL
