Florentino Perez's response to signing Cristiano Ronaldo goes viral

Posted Friday, August 12, 2022 by Marca.com

Cristiano Ronaldo's future remains a big topic of discussion given Manchester United will not be in the Champions League this season.

Although several teams have reportedly sounded out a potential move for the striker, none have made a concerted effort to sign the 37-year-old.

Ronaldo has been linked with moves to both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, though MARCA noted on several occasions that neither side were interested in the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Nevertheless, some Los Blancos fans would be happy to see Ronaldo back at the side.

A small group of fans were staying at the same hotel as the European champions in Helsinki, and made their voices heard when Florentino Perez walked by.

The group asked Perez to bring Ronaldo back to the club, with the president seemingly ignoring their first attempt.

However after asking a second time, Perez finally turned around.

"Who?," he answered, followed by a stinging follow-up: "Cristiano? Again? He's 38 years old."

The Cristiano Case continues

With his future still undecided, it's unclear where Ronaldo will play this season. United are adamant they are counting on him this season, however the lack of Champions League football raises some question marks.

What is all but certain is that a return to Real Madrid isn't in the cards.
