Cristiano Ronaldo's future remains an unknown. Criticized at Manchester United for trying to force a move to a Champions League team, the Portuguese striker was linked with Borussia Dortmund. Jorge Mendes, his agent, offered the services of ‘CR7’ to the German club, however the club’s CEO, Hans-Joachim Watzke, closed the door to the arrival of the Portuguese star.

Still, Julian Nagelsmann was asked about the option of seeing Cristiano in the Bundesliga and the Bayern Munich coach did not mince words: “To be honest, I don't care if Cristiano goes to Borussia...," he lashed out at a press conference. "Whether he goes there or not is of no relevance to me”.

"The only thing I know is that he has a contract with United. I've already learned not to talk about players who are not mine," he excused himself, although he did get share a piece of his mind.

"He's not the youngest anymore and that means you invest a lot of money (for a veteran). I think a lot of people would like to have him, but 15 clubs in Germany couldn't afford his annual salary. And I don't see him earning 500,000 a year. I can't imagine it," he said.
