The reasons why Bayern Munich refused to sign Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo's possible departure from Manchester United is one of the topics of the summer. The Portuguese star, unhappy with his current situation at the club and the direction the team is taking, has tried during these first two months of the market to find a new team.

After many complications and rumors that placed him in the orbit of different teams, such as Bayern Munich, it seems that Ronaldo will end up staying with the English team, at least until next summer. In a recent interview for the German newspaper 'Bild', Hasan Salihamidzic, sporting director of the German club, has talked about the alleged signing of Cristiano giving the keys to why it did not happen.

Bayern Munich, among other things, is known for being a very methodical club, with a very defined club management philosophy and ideas, and this summer, the actions have been no different. Despite losing their flagship striker, Robert Lewandowski, to a 'direct rival' in the Champions League like FC Barcelona, the Bavarians have brought in Sadio Mané, recently awarded African Player of the Year 2022, and Matthijs De Ligt, one of the most promising center backs with the best footballing conditions at the moment.

On Cristiano, Salihamidzic admitted: "If you look at our current attacking department, even without Robert Lewandowski, it looks difficult from a sporting and financial point of view. We have eight players for four positions. We have experienced front-line players who are at the top of their game. We also have talents that we want to give minutes to, and that's why we all voted that we would stick to our plan. So it was out of our hands," he told the German newspaper "Bild".
