Bayern Munich transfer chiefs have already confirmed they have discussed signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United – but they will not be pursuing a move.
Ronaldo is desperately seeking an exit from Old Trafford following his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan in which he accused United of betrayal and trying to force him out. United may be in a position to tear up the superstar's contract if they are advised under employment law that his behaviour is a serious enough breach of discipline.
The Portuguese superstar is now hoping to engineer an exit during the January transfer window, but it's becoming increasingly difficult given the lack of suitors – with Paris Saint-Germain among the clubs to rule themselves out of the running. Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes contacted multiple clubs over the summer months in a desperate attempt to secure a transfer but was unsuccessful.
