Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Real Madrid because he does not want to play in Spain any more, Sky sources understand.

The Daily Mirror claim United are prepared to go all out to bring Ronaldo back to Old Trafford, eight years after he left for the Bernabeu for a then world-record fee of £80m.

They claim United are willing to throw long-term Real target David de Gea into an eye-watering £175m deal.

Paris Saint-Germain have a longstanding interest in signing Ronaldo and AC Milan's new Chinese owners have been in contact this summer with Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes.
