BERLIN — Bayern Munich chief executive
Oliver Kahn said on Wednesday that making a move for Cristiano Ronaldo in the
transfer market would not fit the club’s “philosophy”.

Manchester United striker Ronaldo reportedly wants
to leave the club he rejoined last year, although new Red Devils manager Erik
ten Hag has insisted the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is not for sale.
Ronaldo arrived back at Old Trafford on Tuesday
ahead of talks with Ten Hag over his future.
But Europe’s top clubs, including Bayern, have not
been scrapping for the Portuguese star’s signature.
“We discussed this topic — otherwise we wouldn’t be
doing our job properly,” Kahn told German daily Bild. “Personally, I think
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest-ever footballers.”
“But we came to the conclusion that, despite the
esteem that we hold him in, he wouldn’t have fitted our philosophy at the
moment.”
The 37-year-old Ronaldo only has one year left on
his contract with United, but is reportedly desperate to play in the Champions
League.
Man United struggled last season and could only
qualify for the Europa League after finishing sixth in the Premier League.
Bayern saw Robert Lewandowski leave for
Barcelona earlier this month and Tottenham coach Antonio Conte has complained that the
Bavarians have been trying to entice England captain Harry Kane to move to the
Bundesliga champions.
Bayern face RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup on Saturday
before opening their Bundesliga title defense at Eintracht Frankfurt on August
5.
