None other than Cristiano Ronaldo has been associated with Borussia Dortmund in the vastness of the internet for some time now. BVB is being traded as a potential employer for CR7, as the Westphalians are still looking for a new striker after Sébastien Haller was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Although Ronaldo is probably not presentable for BVB for financial reasons alone, the crazy rumor is spreading more and more strange flowers.
Dortmund fans have even started a crowdfunding campaign that actually aims to transfer the 37-year-old superstar.
The crowdfunding initiator Michael Burschik wants no less than 40 million euros with his campaign “CR7 zum BVB” on the platform “startnext” generate in order to realize the seemingly impossible transfer of the five-time world footballer to Borussia Dortmund.
Ronaldo insists on Manchester farewell
“Dear fans of the Bundesliga and BVB, Sébastian Haller’s bad diagnosis is forcing Borussia Dortmund to upgrade up front. The situation in Manchester gives us a unique opportunity to bring the 5-time world footballer of the year to the Bundesliga. Support us with that this dream comes true and we see Cristiano Ronaldo play in the Bundesliga every week,” said the founder of the fan initiative.
The Portuguese star is targeting another club move after Manchester United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League. FC Bayern is also said to have dealt with the personnel beforehand, but then quickly rejected the idea of a Ronaldo transfer due to Ronaldo’s exorbitant salary demands.
By the way: the crowdfunding initiative on Saturday afternoon is still a long way from the targeted 40 million euros. According to the portal, the most recently donated amount was 10,690 euros from 14 supporters.
