I’ve been checking in the last 24 hours and my information is that there was no meeting,” Romano said. “Bayern sources deny any meeting – this has been the position for some time. They are happy with their attacking options, having signed Sadio Mané in the summer, and with top talents like Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman and in-form youngster Jamal Musiala. Ronaldo was offered to Bayern last summer, but there was no intention to sign a player of his age. He’s a fantastic player who’s had a great career, but Bayern have a different kind of project.”The thought of Ronaldo suiting up in Bayern red at the Allianz Arena caused some fans agitation, while others were piqued by the chaos that would have occurred. Regardless, it does not appear that CR7 will have to brush up on his German any time soon.<a href="https://www.90min.com/posts/transfer-rumours-man-utd-plan-felix-bid-barcelona-eye-pique-replacements-12-11-2022">Depay to Spurs, Sevilla, or United? @RudyGaletti)</a><a href="https://www.barcablaugranes.com">FC Barcelona</a> attacker Memphis Depay is likely leaving the club and has some big suitors in Sevilla, <a href="https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com">Tottenham Hotspur</a>, and Manchester United, who are supposedly interested in him:<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Sevilla?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Sevilla</a> put in their sight <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Depay?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Depay</a>: the club has already held talks with his entourage.
