MANCHESTER – Former Manchester United player, Mikael Silvestre, commented on the condition of Cristiano Ronaldo who almost joined his city rival club, Manchester City, in the summer of 2021. Silvestre admitted that he would not mind it if Ronaldo actually joined Manchester City. As is known, Man United has completed a transfer of 20 million pounds or around Rp260 billion to get Ronaldo from Juventus. The transfer was completed at the end of the transfer market this summer.
Before officially returning to Man United, Ronaldo was rumored to be joining Man City. The rumor was also reinforced by the arrival of Jorge Mendes as Ronaldo's agent at Man City.
However, Man City's agreement with Ronaldo never happened because the Portuguese player preferred to return to the club that had raised his name before. Meanwhile, Silvestre has another view if Ronaldo really goes to Man City.
"I heard the rumours and it could be a clear decision for Man City to sign Ronaldo. Man City are also after Harry Kane and they have wanted him for a long time," said Silvestre.
"So, if the possibility of signing Cristiano, I believe it is an option and it has been discussed to get a goal from Ronaldo," he said. Silverstre said if Ronaldo played at Man City, he was sure CR7 would still score goals. Because Ronaldo has proven to be able to score. many goals despite playing with several other teams.
"So I think, Ronaldo can join Man City to get goals in every game. Ronaldo has proven at Sporting, Man United, Real Madrid, Juventus and maybe Man City," "But now he's back at Man United. His legacy is also with Portugal, so as an individual he proved it doesn't matter who he plays for, which jersey is on him, he scores goals."
