How Cristiano Ronaldo speculation is causing Borussia Dortmund’s value to rise

Cristiano Ronaldo has pushed Borussia Dortmund's shares up. It happened after several media claimed that, next to Sporting Portugal (the team of the Ronaldo’s beginnings), the most feasible option as a new team for Manchester United's Portuguese star is Borussia Dortmund. This comment was enough to send the Signal Iduna Park club's shares soaring.

And the value of the shares continues to rise. On Wednesday morning, they rose by 2.3 percent. Since the beginning of August, 20 percent. Whether he goes to Borussia Dortmund or not, the 37-year-old superstar has already pushed up the German club's share price on the stock exchange based on mere rumors, that is the power that a name like Cristiano Ronaldo’s has.

As is well known, Manchester United continues to claim that Cristiano Ronaldo is not for sale, but the former Madrid star wants to leave the Old Trafford club this summer because he wants to play in the 2022-23 Champions League. ‘CR7’ has offered himself to numerous teams, but has so far been unsuccessful in his attempts. In the last few weeks the Portugal captain said that his future will be known "in a couple weeks”.

Erik Ten Hag, Man United manager, is still assessing his squad’s situation and also the situation with Cristiano Ronaldo. The manager had shared that his desire was to keep Ronaldo and that he was part of his plans for the current season.

United might allow Ronaldo’s exit

However, in light of United’s recent struggles and the fact that Cristiano does not look committed to United, Ten Hag’s —and Man United’s— opinion might be changing. Recent reports coming out of Manchester suggest the club’s leadership and the manager are entertaining the idea of letting Ronaldo out of his contract.
