Bayern Munich director Hasan Salihamidzić has publicly revealed the club’s stance over signing Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo has still yet to play any part in Man United’s pre-season preparations, but the Man United superstar is understood to be keen on forcing a move away from Old Trafford.
Unfortunately for CR7, clubs are hardly champing at the bit to get him through the door. Chelsea were linked with a move but swiftly ended their interest in signing him.
In what’ll prove to be more bad news for Jorge Mendes, Bayern Munich, who were also considered a potential suitor, have now ruled themselves out of the running.
Bayern director Hasan Salihamidzić tells @Sport1: “I have a lot of respect for Cristiano Ronaldo, his successes and his career. But once again: that was and is not a topic for us”. ⛔️🇵🇹 #FCBayern

Bayern are set to lose Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona, but still, Ronaldo is evidently not on their list of potential replacements for the Polish superstar.
With none of the rest of the world’s elite thought to be keen on signing Ronaldo, you wonder if he could find himself lumbered at Man United for the season ahead.
It’s pretty clear that he wants to be playing Champions League football, but at the time of writing, it’s hard to imagine him securing a move away from the Red Devils.
