Cristiano Ronaldo is once again on the hunt for a new club after having only joined Manchester United last season, and his arch-rival Lionel Messi is making sure Paris Saint-Germain is not one of the teams to sign the Portuguese superstar.

After leaving Juventus in 2021, Ronaldo was linked with PSG but the 37-year-old preferred to join the Manchester club. And now with Brazilian star Neymar expected to leave the French champions this summer, the Paris club have a vacant position in the attack.

But according to a report, the Argentine great is not keen on lining up with the former Real Madrid striker.

Ronaldo's management team is trying to get him a new club which includes German giants Bayern Munich and EPL club Chelsea.

Other than goals, Ronaldo offers the club he joins with an increase in sponsorships, tickets and jersey sales.

The Paris club would benefit from the brand Ronaldo but for that, they would have to convince Messi of the transfer as losing the Argentine isn't something what the PSG bosses would want.
