Cristiano Ronaldo ‘too old’ for Bayern Munich transfer

Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer told a fan club meeting Cristiano Ronaldo would be too old to join the Bavarians.

Ronaldo is under contract at Juventus until 2022 and will be 37 by the time his current deal expires. But with Bayern going into a summer transfer transfer where they are expected to spend big, some fans have been dreaming of signing the Portugal international.

And when asked about potential summer transfers at a fan club meeting earlier this week, Hainer ruled out they would make a move for Ronaldo.

“Many names are linked with us by the media,” Hainer said in quotes reported by Passauer Neue Presse. “Cristiano should be a bit too old for us.”

Bayern have been linked with Manchester City winger Leroy Sane, who Sport Bild reported last week is still interested in returning to Germany, and Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz.

Last summer, Sane’s transfer fell through because of his anterior cruciate ligament, sustained only hours before he could complete his move.

“Leroy is a great player in whom we are interested, which is known,” Hainer added. “Let’s see how he comes back from his injury.”
