Cristiano Ronaldo has been tipped to make a sensational move to Barcelona by one of the club's former presidency candidates.
Toni Freixa was asked if Barca should make an attempt to sign the Portuguese megastar, and the ex-board member agreed with the outlandish suggestion.
"If there is a time to do this madness it is now," he said in a quote published on SportWitness via AS.
It would be a stunning U-turn from Ronaldo should he decide to leave Old Trafford so soon, and he has only just signed a two-year deal with the club following a summer departure from Juventus.

He is also Real Madrid's record goalscorer with an incredible 450 goals in 438 appearances across all competitions for Los Blancos in an outstanding nine-year spell in the Spanish capital.

In that same article by AS, Freixa is backing the legendary former midfielder to turn things around at the club.
"He wants to convince of them of his ideas, make them play in a certain way and for the players to enjoy themselves."
"They will play well and he will create a good dynamic there. I don't think there is going to be a war between coach and the players."
