Borussia Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke insists he is not in talks to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United despite admitting it would be "charming" to see him pull on the famous black and yellow shirt.
Ronaldo, 37, is still hoping to join a new club this summer after making it clear he would like to leave Old Trafford in early July. The superstar striker's agent, Jorge Mendes, has offered him far and wide, with Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Napoli and Bayern Munich among those linked with him at various stages.
However, no move has materialised and time is quickly running out for Ronaldo to join a club which can offer him Champions League football before the window shuts on 1 September. In a late twist, Dortmund emerged as a potential lifeline earlier this week; a move to the Bundesliga giants would present the five-time Ballon d'Or winner with the chance to plunder goals in a new country and compete in Europe's elite competition this season.
