Cristiano Ronaldo is a man who started at Sporting Lisbon, was made into a star at Manchester United and became a legendary icon at Real Madrid. However, after four seasons at the Spanish capital, is his time or patience running out? Does he wish to return to England or maybe try his luck in Italy?
Honestly, after losing for the third straight time in the semis of the Champions League, and only winning one La Liga title and perhaps two Copa Del Reys (Spanish Cup), he might as well be on his way out of there. With his beloved Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho also leaving (most likely), his heart may be telling him his time has come at Madrid.
With Manchester United flying high in the Premier League, Ronaldo could return to England to play for Chelsea–which is where Mourinho is rumored to be coaching for the second time next season. That would be a great fit for the Portuguese international captain. Eden Hazard plays as a winger opposite of Victor Moses, but the Belgian can easily play alongside Juan Mata in the middle. Ronaldo could jump right into the starting line-up as the left winger. With English soccer being a bit more physical than technical, Ronaldo can easily fit right back into the British game and be successful once again.
In Italy, Juventus can sign him and become a super team. With Andrea Pirlo being the assist/play making king, Ronaldo would have no problem fitting in by scoring goals. AC Milan is another team that could use his services as he and Mario Balotelli could link up quite a bit and boost the Milanese’s title chances for next season.
Honestly, it is all about what Ronaldo, his agent and his current club desire. If all parties agree on a solution, that is the obvious choice that will be made.
