Three clubs aware of Cristiano Ronaldo's Man Utd exit plan as likely destination emerges

Napoli, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have all been made aware of Cristiano Ronaldo's plan to leave Manchester United.

The 37-year-old has handed in a shock transfer request, asking to leave the Red Devils after just one season back at Old Trafford should the club receive a satisfactory transfer bid. The bombshell news comes on the eve of Erik ten Hag 's first pre-season tour, and while the new United manager is shifting his focus to finding a replacement, Ronaldo and his agent, Jorge Mendes, are now scouring the continent for his next destination.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is desperate to play Champions League football next term and avoid the Europa League mediocrity which the Red Devils will find themselves in come September. The three aforementioned heavyweights were all informed of his situation before it went public, having grown frustrated with United's underwhelming transfer business this summer.
