Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly considering a sensational return to Manchester United next summer. Several reports have claimed that Juventus are willing to cash in on the 35-year-old Ronaldo as the Portuguese star's current deal with the Serie A giants expires in the summer of 2022. However, it is now believed that Man United have already begun negotiations to re-sign Ronaldo at the end of the season.

Cristiano Ronaldo transfer news: Juventus looking to cash in on veteran Portuguese attacker

According to reports from AS, Juventus are planning to offload Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of the 2020-21 season. It is believed that Ronaldo's £540,000-a-week wages have been a huge cause of concern for the Old Lady and Juve are now planning to get the Portuguese winger off their books soon. A new deal for Ronaldo at Turin would be 'unsustainable' for the Bianconeri.

Ronaldo earns almost four times more than Juve's second-highest player, Matthijs De Ligt, who takes home around £150,000 a week. More so, Ronaldo's sale could generate a significant amount of transfer fees which would provide financial aid for Juventus in their time of need.

PSG sporting director Leonardo Araujo hinted that Ronaldo may opt to join the Parisians next term if he has a desire to conquer the French league. Leonardo also claimed that PSG are one of the few clubs in Europe that can afford Ronaldo amid the pandemic. However, it seems that Ronaldo's former club, Manchester United, are now planning a sensational move to re-sign the two-time Serie A champion.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been desperate for a winger and the 20-time English champions are seriously considering a move for Ronaldo after failing to bring in Dortmund's Jadon Sancho in the summer. Reports claim that Ronaldo is also considering a return to Old Trafford.
