Football Transfer Window 2021-2022

‘Craziest transfer window’: Man Utd swoop on Ronaldo to bolster $257m title statement

The 36-year-old made his name on the world stage in six years at United between 2003 and 2009 before moving to Real Madrid for a then world record transfer fee.

He became a legend at Madrid, scoring a remarkable 450 goals in 438 matches in a glittering nine-year spell that included four Champions League triumphs and winning the Ballon d’Or for the world’s best player four times.

Ronaldo joined Juventus in 2018 and won two Serie A titles, but his time in Turin has not lived up to expectations.
