Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs who have been linked with a move for Cristiano, and sporting director Leonardo did not rule out a swoop when he told a recent interview that the Parisians are in the “closed circle” of four or five teams able to sign the star.
However, he added: "It’s normal that this possibility is talked about although due to the craziness of the market he is not within reach at the moment."
