Cristiano Ronaldo Transfer Odds

The British transfer window may have slammed shut with a brisk September wind, but that doesn’t mean all activity grinds to a halt. Unfortunately for some clubs, players heads can still be turned by foreign clubs who are still active in the market. Unattached players can still join your team and if you’re Brendan Rodgers, planning for the January window starts now.

Talking of planning ahead for the next window, Manchester City are preparing a bid to sign former Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid for £95m. (Daily Star)

The Portuguese superstar is rumoured to be unsettled with the Spanish Champions and is bemused at not being offered a renewed contract. Despite three years remaining on his current deal, during a recent victory over Grenada in which he scored two goals, Ronaldo cut a sombre figure after finding the net; leading to the speculation over his future and the harmony within Mourinho’s squad.

The current odds on him leaving and plying his trade elsewhere next season are;

PSG 14/1,

Manchester City 16/1,

Barcelona 33/1.

Or of course he could stay put at Real Madrid, which is a less tempting 1/14.
