PSG Want To Sign Cristiano Ronaldo To Partner Messi

Paris Saint-Germain will reportedly make a sensational late bid for Cristiano Ronaldo this transfer window in the hope of pairing him with Lionel Messi. 

The Ligue 1 giants completed the signing of six-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi a fortnight ago after the Argentine was unable to sign a new contract at his beloved Barcelona.

And now, with Kylian Mbappe said to be edging ever closer to a move to Real Madrid, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is reportedly determined to bring in fellow Ballon d’Or-hauler Ronaldo if Mbappe leaves the club this summer.

• Which club is favourite to sign Cristiano Ronaldo?

Ronaldo is believed to be keen for a new challenge having grown restless with life at Juventus and even asked to be a substitute for their Serie A opener against Udinese at the weekend. 

According to Spanish outlet OK Diario, Al-Khelaifi wants to see Ronaldo play alongside a crop of superstars which include Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marco Verratti. 

Their report, however, details that the move will only be viable if Mbappe - who reportedly rejected a new five-year contract at Les Parisiens last month - trades the French capital for the Spanish, in a big-money move.

Essentially, this summer would represent PSG’s last chance of getting a big transfer fee for the 2018 World Cup winner.
