Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly initiated contact to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United this summer.
The 37-year-old's future is dominating the talk of the summer transfer market after he allegedly told the club that he wants to leave in the coming weeks.
Ronaldo is not confident that he can fulfil his silverware ambitions at Old Trafford, although he has welcomed the arrival of Erik ten Hag as head coach.
However, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has been left frustrated with a lack of early summer signings, as the Red Devils have only welcomed Tyrell Malacia to the club so far.
With Ronaldo determined to win at least one more Champions League before his playing career comes to an end, the Portugal international is being tipped to complete a move to another European powerhouse.

PSG are thought to be one of a handful of clubs who could afford Ronaldo's pay packet, and according to journalist Pedro Almeida, the Ligue 1 champions are now in talks over a move.
Almeida claims that PSG sporting director Luis Campos has spoken with Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes to sound out the idea of a move to the Parc des Princes for his client.
Such a transfer would see Ronaldo form a historic forward line with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, although Neymar continues to be linked with a move away.
Almeida claims that Ronaldo now has a "very high" chance of leaving Old Trafford, where he is under contract until 2023 with the option of a further 12 months.
Ronaldo is yet to return to pre-season training with Man United due to a family issue, which has prevented him from linking up with the team for their trip to Bangkok to face Liverpool.

It remains to be seen if Ronaldo will travel to Australia for subsequent meetings with Crystal Palace, Melbourne Victory and Aston Villa, and Ten Hag's side will also meet Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano before the new season kicks off.
Chelsea have also been strongly linked with a move for Ronaldo, but manager Thomas Tuchel supposedly has reservations over a move for the ex-Real Madrid and Juventus man.
Ronaldo's first season back at Man United saw the Portugal international hit 24 goals in 38 matches, and he found the back of the net 18 times in the Premier League.
PSG director Campos has now reunited with Christophe Galtier in a new-look Parc des Princes office, with the latter being confirmed as Mauricio Pochettino's replacement earlier this month.
