ITransfer: Despite the Manchester United star’s decision to reduce salary, Dortmund rejects Ronaldo because he is far too big.

According to SportBild, Cristiano Ronaldo was ready to give up some of his salary to join Borussia Dortmund.

This summer, a number of teams have been linked with the coveted Manchester United forward, including the Bundesliga’s juggernauts.

Before statements ruled the signing out, it appeared for a time that the move might be on, but SportBild has described how close it was.

The sports publication claims that there was a brief internal debate about Ronaldo at BVB.

But the answer was quickly “no,” and it wasn’t because of money. Despite their admiration for Ronaldo, the Dortmund management feels that the risk of bringing a global superstar to the city is too great.
