His arrival would cause a huge stir. The name of Cristiano Ronaldo was mentioned on Monday by the Catalan press, on the side of FC Barcelona, which has had good relations for several years with his agent Jorge Mendes.
The Portuguese have a strong bond with Real Madrid, where he won everything in nine seasons in the Spanish capital. Difficult in these conditions to imagine the five-fold Golden Ball wearing the shirt of Barça, arch-enemy of Real. And yet, the hypothesis should not be ruled out.

Back this summer at Manchester United, after three seasons at Juventus, Ronaldo would not be fulfilled in the north of England and above all he would not be satisfied with the results of the Red Devils. The appointment of Ralf Rangnick on the Mancunian bench in place of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has not changed much to the situation. After 19 days, Manchester United occupies only the 7e Premier League place.
Only six months after his arrival, he would have asked his agent to find him a new base. And Jorge Mendes, who has worked with President Joan Laporta on several occasions in the past, but also technical director Mateu Alemany, could offer his services to Barcelona.
An opportunity that the Catalan club, in difficulty on the offensive plan since the departure of Lionel Messi last summer, could not pass up. It remains to be seen whether Cristiano Ronaldo will agree to join Barça and whether the latter, which is experiencing financial problems, will have the means to meet his salary demands.
