Man United are preparing the groundwork for a major transfer coup next summer with the club’s owners confident of re-signing Cristiano Ronaldo in a £55mln deal.
Whilst Louis van Gaal had pushed to bring in Radamel Falcao to boost his Old Trafford attack for the coming season he has his sights firmly set on bringing back fan favourite Ronaldo, which in turn would lead to the AS Monaco star moving to the Bernabeu on a permanent switch, CaughtOffside reported.
It’s a move that’s said to suit all parties with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez having taken a keen interest in Falcao but failing to get his man due to having spent upwards of £100 million to bring in the likes of James Rodriguez, Toni Kroos and Keylor Navas over the summer.
Ronaldo has proven a massive success since moving to the Spanish capital in 2009, scoring a phenomenal 255 goals in 250 appearances, Real Madrid have secured just one La Liga title in the five completed seasons he has been at the club and may feel the time is right to return to Manchester United, not least as he secured a Champions League triumph with his Spanish side and could feel his work there is done.
The arrivals of Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez could leave Ronaldo feeling he is sharing the spotlight with other stellar signings and the Portuguese national team skipper has repeatedly affirmed his desire to one day return to the club he represented from 2003 to 2009.
