Hans-Joachim Watzke has rejected media speculation about alleged negotiations between Dortmund and Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Cristiano Ronaldo and Borussia Dortmund is a charming idea at first glance. I love this player. He is the greatest player the world has ever made. The problem: there is no contact with the player. And therefore none Transfer,” said the Bundesliga club’s managing director at the club’s annual balance sheet press conference.
Rumors about a possible move from Manchester United to the Bundesliga superstar had recently made headlines. The US broadcaster CBS Sports speculated on Thursday that BVB was Ronaldo’s “last chance” to leave Manchester United this summer. Accordingly, the 37-year-old Portuguese is determined to part ways with Manchester this summer.
The Spanish newspaper “AS” had already reported on Tuesday that Ronaldo still had two change options for this summer: Sporting Lisbon – or BVB. According to the article, which, like the CBS report, did not name a source, there is said to have been contact between BVB and the Ronaldo side.
