REPORT: Ronaldo Offered to Barcelona
The prospect of Cristiano Ronaldo playing alongside Lionel Messi is being proposed by the Portuguese's agent, says Guillem Balague
Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered to Barcelona as Juventus look to reduce their gigantic wage bill.
With the Serie A champions hit hard financially by the COVID-19 pandemic, the club is looking to get rid of Ronaldo's mammoth contract, according to Spanish journalist Guillem Balague.
The Portuguese's agent, Jorge Mendes, has reportedly been instructed to find the 35-year-old a new club and has contacted the Catalan club about a potential move.
While Ronaldo playing alongside Lionel Messi would be a huge box-office draw, the chances of Real Madrid's all-time top scorer playing for Barca look unlikely.
In a recent interview with beIN SPORTS, president Josep Maria Bartomeu shot down suggestions the club would sign big-name players during the transfer window.
Ronaldo was Juve's top scorer during the recent season with 35 goals in all competitions.
However, Juve are reportedly looking to get the Portuguese's €23million salary off the wage bill and recoup some of the €100million they paid for him two seasons ago.
