Bayern Munich make clear to Cristiano Ronaldo what Robert Lewandowski exit means for him

Bayern Munich chief executive Oliver Khan has reiterated that the club will not be signing Cristiano Ronaldo despite the exit of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona.

The 37-year-old wants to leave Manchester United this summer after the Red Devils failed to qualify for the Champions League and is hoping to secure a move away from Old Trafford if they receive a satisfactory offer for his services. Ronaldo scored 24 goals in 38 matches last season - including 18 in the Premier League as he finished as the third top scorer behind Mohamed Salah and Heung min-Son.

Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern have been linked with the Portuguese superstar, but it seems as though all of those teams have ruled themselves out of a move for the player. Thomas Tuchel admires Ronaldo but does not think he will suit their style of football, while Los Blancos are searching for a younger forward to play back-up for Karim Benzema, who is entering the twilight of his career.
