In the early morning of August 17, the television program El Chiringuito TV (Spain) reported that coach Carlo Ancelotti wanted Cristiano Ronaldo to return to Santiago Bernabeu.
However, on his Twitter page, Ancelotti wrote : “Cristiano is a legend of Real Madrid. He has all my love and respect. But I have never considered signing a contract with Cristiano.” .
Not long after, Corriere dello Sport (Italy) revealed that Ronaldo’s representative Jorge Mendes actively contacted Manchester City. However, the Etihad Stadium team is actively recruiting Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspurs, not CR7.
Meanwhile, from last year until now, Ronaldo has not been Real’s top priority in the transfer market as a striker. Kylian Mbappe is the name that “White Vultures” crave the most.
The information that Ancelotti wants the Euro 2016 champion to return to play for Real clearly has a clear contradiction compared to the other two pieces of information. The possibility of Ronaldo returning to the Spanish royal team is not high. But why is that information still released and widely spread?
The reason comes from journalist Edu Aguirre (El Chiringuito TV) releasing this information. Aguirre has an extremely close relationship with Ronaldo. He began being close to the former Manchester United star in 2017. Since then, a series of photos taken with Ronaldo have appeared relatively regularly on Aguirre’s Instagram page.

Without exception, the Portuguese superstar asked his close friend to spread the news that Ancelotti wanted him to return to the Bernabeu. But why do we have the right to doubt that?
First of all, it must be mentioned that Ronaldo wants to run away from Juventus as soon as possible. Because in the three seasons the former Sporting Lisbon star joined the “Old Lady of Turin”, Juventus were eliminated early and performed below expectations in the Champions League.
In the 2018/19 season, coach Max Allegri and his team lost with a total score of 2-3 to Ajax Amsterdam in the quarterfinals. In the 2019/20 season, coach Maurizio Sarri’s team lost to Lyon in the 1/8 round because of the away goals rule. In the 2020/21 season, Juventus bid farewell to the tournament in the round of 16 when they were defeated by Porto also because of the away goals rule.
In the past season, coach Andrea Pirlo and his team also lost the Serie A championship to Inter Milan even though Juventus entered this tournament as the defending champions. The Bianconeri ranked 4th on the rankings with 78 points, 13 points behind the Nerazzuri.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo is an extremely ambitious player. The superstar born in 1985 is never satisfied with himself and always wants to conquer every trophy in every tournament.
Therefore, Ronaldo may have asked Aguirre to report that Ancelotti wanted his services to attract attention and “make a price” at the 2021 summer market. In addition, the social networking sites of El Chiringuito TV and Aguirre They all have a large number of followers as well as very good interaction.
Aguirre has the same influence as a true KOL. Therefore, news related to a famous football legend like Ronaldo always spreads at a terrible speed when posted on these social networking sites.
After Ancelotti corrected that he had not thought about recruiting CR7, it can be seen that this is just a trick to create fake rumors that is common in the football world in every transfer window.
