’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has offered his client to Napoli, with the possibility of buying their forward Victor Osimhen suggested.

Mendes has been looking for a new club for Ronaldo all summer, but it has proved to be very difficult to find the destination he is looking for.

The 37-year-old commands huge wages and brings a fair amount of baggage with him, which appears to have put off any possible suitors, despite being offered one of the greatest players of all time.

report, though, that Napoli were immediately interested in Ronaldo when it appeared that he was available this summer, so they could still be the way that he gets the Old Trafford exit he has been looking for.

The Red Devils are willing to let Ronaldo go, but they want a replacement before the end of the transfer window and Osimhen is a player they are keen on.

The 23-year-old earned a move to Napoli after impressing at Lille and has been good in Italy, scoring 30 goals in 64 games for his current side, including two in two at the start of this season.

Napoli, however, would only sell their forward for around €100m (£84.96), so even with Ronaldo going the other way as part of the deal, he might be too expensive for United, who are close to paying around that amount for Antony from Ajax.

Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio has also reported that Mendes suggested to AC Milan that Ronaldo could move to the San Siro and their forward Rafael Leao go to Old Trafford, but that was rejected by the Serie A champions.

Ronaldo was left out of the starting XI for United’s impressive 2-1 win over Liverpool on Monday, only increasing his desire to move on this summer, but Mendes must find him a new club or a transfer will not be happening.
