Bayern and PSG out of the bidding for Cristiano

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United. If the transfer market wasn't already hot, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has caused a footballing storm that is set to affect the big European clubs. Despite his age, 37, the Portuguese remains one of the greatest players in Europe.

It was only a few hours before some of the suitors for the player, who on his return to Old Trafford after leaving Juventus scored 24 goals and provided three assists in 38 appearances, became known. These figures may be far from what he is used to, but they are evidence of his great form.

Being out of the Champions League may have been one of the reasons for 'CR7' to leave the project of Erik Ten Hag, coach of the Red Devils this season. Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Napoli asked for the Portuguese and the speculation began with the years of contract and his salary as the main changing protagonists.

The latest news came on Sunday, when 'Bild' reported that Nagelsmann's side have dropped out of the bidding for Cristiano. The Germans are not willing to pay a transfer fee for the 37-year-old, even though some managers have been interested in his situation. The Portuguese's high salary is also a major drawback.

Although he was not one of the most talked about, but is always in contention for the big names in the market, 'The Athletic' assured that Paris Saint-Germain will not go for the five-time Champions League winner. There were dreams of a sort of 'The Last Dance' in which the Portugal international would be with Lionel Messi. But it will remain just that, a dream.
