Cristiano Ronaldo says Barcelona move not off limits: 'Everything is open, all leagues'

Portugal star, 30, says it would be ‘complicated’ to play for Barcelona or Man Utd in the future but admits ‘there are no certainties in football’

 

Cristiano Ronaldo is really serious about keeping his options open for the future. Not even Barcelona or Manchester United’s rivals in England are off limits.

 

Ronaldo told the Associated Press on Thursday that he knows it would be “very complicated” to play for these clubs, but it’s something that the Real Madrid star doesn’t rule out either.

 

He said nothing is certain in soccer, so he will not close doors to any leagues or teams, not even Madrid’s biggest rival.

 

“It’s a little more difficult, but …,” he said, with a long pause, not dismissing the possibility.

 

“There are things that you kind of already have an idea, that to play one day for Barcelona would be almost impossible, or to play for another English club other than Manchester, it’s very complicated,” he said. “But that’s not 100% guaranteed. As I said before, there are no certainties in football.”

 

In his interview with the AP, the Portugal forward made it clear that when it’s time to decide about his future, he will consider all options on the table.

 

“Everything is open, all leagues,” he said. “I may end my career here with Real Madrid. I’m just being honest. I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. If I was 75% certain, I would say so, it wouldn’t be a problem. But I have no idea.”

 

Speaking before the launch of his new product with nutrition partner Herbalife, Ronaldo said he may even decide to be somewhere else other than Europe, and that it’s not impossible for him to be playing in the United States’ Major League Soccer.

 

“Right now I don’t see myself playing in the American league, but that’s right now,” he said. “In two or three years I may think differently.”

 

He said that in the future he may be at a stage of his life in which he might prefer playing in the US, instead of the more traditional European leagues.

 

“These are always difficult questions to answer because we never know what’s going to happen tomorrow,” he said. “And as a football professional, this is always an unknown, so I prefer to stay in the present. The present is good and I’m enjoying being at Real Madrid. But in a few years I don’t know how I’m going to be thinking.”

 

Ronaldo has a contract with Real Madrid until 2018, but there has been widespread speculation about him leaving the Spanish club – despite having become its all-time leading scorer. Those rumors gained ground after his brief sideline meeting with Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc in a recent match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, but Ronaldo has been downplaying any immediate move out of Madrid.

 

“When it’s closer to ending my contract I’m going to have to make decisions, whether it’s staying at Real Madrid or going to another club or ending my career in a few years,” the 30-year-old Ronaldo said.

 

“It’s normal. That’s why I’m not worried, because I know that everything has a beginning and everything has an end. I’m ready for that. I’m ready to stay at Real Madrid, to leave, to end my career when it’s time. It’s part of my job.”

 

The Portugal star, voted the best player in the world three times, played six seasons with Manchester United before joining Madrid in 2009.

E no Astana? Aqueles Twumasi e Kabananga são demasiado bons para sair facilmente do onze.

E o Ronaldo no meio rende o quê? 25€ por noite?

Se marcar os penaltis e sendo servido pelos outros quatro, ainda seria capaz de ter um número de golos jeitoso.

 

O Messi até esfregava as mãos ao poder fazer aqueles cruzamentos na direita sabendo que lá estaria o Ronaldo, com a sua impulsão anormal, para finalizar.

já só falta aquele clone do mourinho para servirem a gelatina

Pá, também não exageremos. Sejamos sérios, por favor. Ainda no outro dia um jogador do Barça se lesionou num jogo para a taça, o Luís Enrique olhou para o banco, fez um facepalm e optou por não fazer entrar ninguém. Há quem diga que tenha sido uma forma de protesto pela ausência de alternativas.
