"He actually has no shame," "Been offered everywhere at this point" - Barcelona fans react to news that Jorge Mendes offered Cristiano Ronaldo to Catalan giants
Barcelona fans have slammed Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portuguese icon was offered to the Catalans by his agent Jorge Mendes. They have remarked that he has practically been offered to all the top clubs without him showing any respect for the club's rivalries that he has previously played for.
Ronaldo's future at Manchester United is still hanging in the balance and the latest updates suggest that the forward was offered to the Catalans. According to CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs, Ronaldo's agent Mendes offered his client to the Blaugrana before they signed Robert Lewandowski. The journalist added that the 37-year-old has been offered to Atletico Madrid as well.
Jacobs tweeted (in two separate posts):
“Atleti sources reiterate that the club are simply not in a financial position to move. Atleti have termed signing Ronaldo 'problematic'. Mendes even offered Ronaldo to Barcelona prior to them signing Robert Lewandowski.”
Mendes even offered Ronaldo to Barcelona prior to them signing Robert Lewandowski. No club is currently close to signing Ronaldo allowing #MUFC to maintain their ‘not for sale’ stance without it being challenged. Erik ten Hag remains hopeful of having clear-the-air talks, too.
The update was met with a wide range of reactions from fans of the Catalan giants. Many sections of the Blaugrana fanbase aren't huge fans of Cristiano Ronaldo due to his exploits for Real Madrid and rivalry with Lionel Messi.
One fan simply tweeted:
"Been offered everywhere at this point."
@utdreport @JacobsBen Been offered everywhere at this point.

Cristiano Ronaldo's future remains uncertain amid links with multiple clubs including Barcelona
Barcelona have been linked with Lewandowski for much of this summer after the Polish forward revealed that he wanted to depart Bayern Munich. Consequently, they got their man and it comes as no surprise that the links between the Catalan giants and Ronaldo did not amount to anything.
As things stand, Ronaldo's future remains as uncertain as ever. Chelsea previously seemed like a realistic destination for the legendary forward. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Blues didn't go ahead with the deal after holding discussions with Thomas Tuchel.

Thomas Tuchel has decided against Cristiano Ronaldo signing, as things stand. Jorge Mendes had talks with Todd Boehly but final decision has always been up to the manager. 🔵 #CFC
Chelsea are now focused on different deals - Tuchel isn’t keen on signing Cristiano. https://t.co/Fa19FcPhNX
Ronaldo is yet to join Manchester United's pre-season camp. The Red Devils, to their credit, have fared quite well without his services, picking up three wins in as many games. They have also scored an excellent 11 goals in those matches.
Erik ten Hag's side will end their tour of Thailand and Australia with a clash against Aston Villa on July 23. They will then return to Europe with a clash against Atletico Madrid scheduled for July 30 in Norway.
It'll be interesting to see if Ronaldo's future is sorted in time for the clash against the Spanish giants.
