Cristiano Ronaldo could still end up leaving Manchester United this summer, TrackNews Nigeria reports.

According to Corriere della Sera, there is a chance the 37-year-old could be playing for Napoli this season.

Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has informed the Serie A club that United would be willing to offer €100million (£84million) to sign their striker Victor Osimhen.

This would open up the possibility of the Portuguese moving the other way.

Osimhen is valued by Napoli at €130 million but they would be willing to reduce his asking price if they were to land Ronaldo in exchange.

However, there is one caveat: Napoli could only afford to pay 25 per cent of Ronaldo’s wages.
