Football News: Speculations are that Cristiano Ronaldo is joining Paris-Saint Germain
Cristiano Ronaldo won't be able to go with the rest of the Manchester United team on their pre-season tour today due to a family matter
The fact that Manchester United does not want to sell the 37-year-old is still abundantly obvious. He has a deal with the team till the end of the current season.
According to reports from the previous weekend, Ronaldo may want to leave Manchester United if a reasonable offer is offered.
The Portuguese star is allegedly dissatisfied with Manchester United's apparent lack of summer transfer activity following a sixth-place finish in the Premier League. It is eager to play Champions League football this season.
Several teams have been mentioned concerning Ronaldo, including Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Napoli.
Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly spoke with Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes last week to discuss Ronaldo's predicament and potential to join Chelsea.
Thomas Tuchel, the head coach of the Blues, is reported 'little interested' in acquiring Ronaldo because the London club is almost finished with a deal for Raheem Sterling, a striker for Manchester City.
However, Paris Saint-Germain, his rival Lionel Messi's team, is the pool's most intriguing team.
Although this team-up would be one for the ages, it is essential to know what the Argentine thinks about pairing up with the 5-times Ballon d'Or winner.
What are Lionel Messi's thoughts on playing alongside Ronaldo
Ronaldo would team up with Messi, a longtime adversary who is gearing up for his second season at PSG, if he moved to the Parc des Princes.
The two superstars would make an unusual squad because they competed against one another for individual and team honours while playing in Spanish football, Messi at Barcelona and Ronaldo at Real Madrid.
In light of the significant speculation around Cristiano Ronaldo's future, Lionel Messi has already stated that he would prefer to play with the Portuguese great.
In 2015, Messi was asked if he would be able to play with Ronaldo. As rivals with Barcelona and Real Madrid, the pair had been battling for successive Ballon d'Or, but the Argentine took up a never say never approach.
"Yes, of course," Messi replied when asked if he'll play with Ronaldo, "I always like to play with the best, and he is one of them."
"I think it will be difficult for us to play in the same team, but I would like to. I was lucky enough to play and participate with many very good players, and, obviously, I would also like to do it with him."
Manchester United face Brighton in their opening Premier League match on August 7, so it remains to be seen whether Ronaldo will receive a suitable offer.
