It's safe to say that Salzburg won’t be offering to buy Ronaldo when the January transfer window opens.
Ronaldo is desperately searching for a new club, having initially issued a transfer request this past summer at the start of July.
The attacker wanted and still desires to join a club that is in the Champions League and cam challenge for major trophies.
His agent Jorge Mendes offered him out to numerous clubs around Europe, including Chelsea, PSG, Napoli, Roma, Bayern and Atletico Madrid without finding a taker.
Finding a club prepared to make a concrete offer in January is expected to be difficult given Ronaldo turns 38 in February and earns €30 million per season.
His contract at Man Utd expires at the end of the season.
Ronaldo has only scored two goals in 2022-23, a penalty in the Europa League against Sheriff and just one goal in the Premier League.
