Bayern Munich Rules Out Move For Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo will not join Bayern Munich according to the German champion’s CEO Oliver Kahn after the Portuguese star’s contract at Manchester United was terminated last week.

Ronaldo was touted to several clubs during the summer transfer window by his agent, Jorge Mendes, with Kahn admitting a possible move for the 37-year-old had been discussed internally.

The German giants opted against a move claiming that Ronaldo did not ‘fit our philosophy.

The Bundesliga leaders have been viewed as a potential destination for Ronaldo following his Old Trafford exit, but Kahn insists the club’s position has not changed.

“We have already dealt with this,” Kahn told Sky Sports Germany. “We have a clear idea, a clear philosophy of how our squad should be put together.

“We all appreciate him, there’s no discussion. We all love Cristiano Ronaldo, but that’s something that doesn’t fit into our idea.”

Ronaldo’s contract was terminated by Manchester United last week, following a number of controversial statements in a TV interview with Piers Morgan.

Throughout the summer Ronaldo stated that his desire to make a move away from Old Trafford was in large part motivated by the club’s failure to qualify for Champions League football.

Reports have suggested United’s Premier League rivals Chelsea have cooled on the idea of signing Ronaldo, with the club’s new owner Todd Boehly previously keen on taking the star to Stamford Bridge.

Saudi Arabian giants Al Nassr have reportedly targeted a move for the iconic forward.

Ronaldo had momentarily appeared to have become Portugal’s joint-ever leading World Cup goalscorer alongside national team legend Eusebio after celebrating scoring against Uruguay on Monday.

The goal was instead awarded to his former Manchester United team-mate Bruno Fernandes, with Ronaldo ruled as having failed to connect with the cross for Portugal’s opening goal in the 2-0 win.
