Last week there was some surprise speculation that Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo might be headed to Borussia Dortmund, after virtually every other Champions League team rejected him.
In reality, it seems like it was always being pushed from Ronaldo’s end, and there was little interest from BVB.
"At BVB, there was also a brief internal discussion about Ronaldo. But the no came quickly - and not for financial reasons. Despite all the admiration for Ronaldo, the bosses consider the risk of bringing such a world star to Dortmund far too big."

There are even reports that Ronaldo was willing to waive some of his salary in order to get the move going. Seems like someone was a little desperate!

There’s not long left to go in the summer transfer window. Do you think BVB will do any other business?
