- By Allan Pederson on June 28, 2013 15:31 GMTManchester City and Monaco both trade at 50/1 and look extremely unlikely destinations despite some of the things you may read on the back pages of the newspapers. A return to Everton would pay out at 80/1 while a move to Tottenham or Liverpool remains the most unlikely at 100/1.

Speaking of Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo appears to be the subject of some speculation this summer as well with a chance for him to leave Madrid - a club he has declared himself to be a bit unhappy with in the past. The bookmakers clearly expect Ronaldo to stay, at this point in time however, with a listing of 1/5 out there on him to remain at Madrid before September 3 of this year.
Manchester United are the next best-priced side though and it would really be something if he made a return to Old Trafford, seemingly at the pinnacle of his career. While that prospect was a bit more likely if Sir Alex Ferguson remained at the helm, it would be one of the biggest media events in recent sporting history and a chance to link up with teammates old and new would be something else entirely.
United are available at 10/3 for Cristiano Ronaldo’s next destination. Chelsea can be backed at a 5/1 price and they look very likely to get a bit more competitive if Ronaldo can stay on and cope with Jose Mourinho going forward. It would take a big payout to land Ronaldo and you wonder whether Chelsea might prefer a more strategic approach and spread their money out a bit more.
Paris St Germain have been linked with nearly every major player in Europe this summer and that’s why they trade at 8/1 to land Ronaldo’s signature this summer. Monaco are in a similar state but don’t seem to be able to land the big names despite the benefits of them being an offshore tax haven. They trade at 25/1 to sign Cristiano Ronaldo while Manchester City can be backed at 40/1.
