Man United have no intention of parting ways with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who has another 12 months left on his contract with the option to extend until the end of the 2023-24 season.
Chelsea are thought to be at the head of the queue to sign Ronaldo if he does leave Man United, with new Blues owner Todd Boehly recently discussing the idea with agent Jorge Mendes.
However, Report from Spain claims that Barcelona are also interested in signing the Portugal international, in spite of his association with bitter rivals Real Madrid.
Ronaldo spent nine years on the books at Real Madrid, winning four Champions Leagues and scoring 450 goals in 438 appearances before leaving for Juventus in 2018.
The report adds that Mendes has now met with Barcelona president Joan Laporta, during which the pair floated the idea of a sensational switch to Camp Nou for Ronaldo while also discussing other players.
Barcelona president Laporta allegedly wanted to bring Ronaldo to the club in 2021 amid his then-uncertain future, but Barcelona’s long-running financial problems made a deal impossible.
