Barcelona have confirmed there are no plans to sign Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.

The Manchester United winger has been mooted as an end-of-season transfer target for the Spanish champions.

United have steadfastly refused to countenance the sale of Ronaldo and insist the Portugal international is going nowhere.

Talk of a contract extension has been floated and convincing the attacker his future is at Old Trafford could now be easier for the Premiership leaders.

Barca's vice-president Ferran Soriano has revealed the club are not looking to sign players of Ronaldo's ilk for next season.

"For next season, we are not predicting any big midfield signings," Soriano told Marca.

"We only wait on two or three men for concrete positions."
