It would be hard for Barcelona to afford a deal, despite Laporta’s comments, given they’ve struggled to register Ferran Torres.
But with Ronaldo’s rage beginning to rise, it’s feasible he’ll try and leave the club for a second time at the end of the season.
The Portugal international has several options, as well as Barcelona, should he decide to jump ship.
Former club Real Madrid, where he spent nine successful years, would perhaps be interested in snapping him up.
Especially with Carlo Ancelotti at the helm, with the Italian previously coaxing the best from Ronaldo during his first spell at the Bernabeu.
Paris Saint-Germain may lose Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer in the summer, with Real at the front of the queue to snap him up.
