A sensational report in France claims that Cristiano Ronaldo told Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc he is interested in a move to the French club.
Ronaldo has been linked with a €100m move to PSG next summer, and Le Parisien believes the Real Madrid star spoke directly to Blanc after Tuesday's Champions League match between the clubs.
Ronaldo has been the subject of persistent links to PSG, and has
offered mixed messages on his future - on the one hand saying his dream
is to retire at Real Madrid, and on the other refusing to rule out a
move away from the Bernabeu.

As the clip above shows, Ronaldo did indeed speak directly to
Blanc after the game. However, we'd be amazed if his precise words were
overheard by anyone.
Did Blanc let it slip to someone at PSG? It this a piece of
mischief-making from Ronaldo's camp? Or is it just a figment of
journalistic fantasy? It's impossible to know - but for sure there are
plenty of parties with an interest in making a deal happen - or at
least, making it seem possible.
Which is not to say the move couldn't happen. PSG have the money
to pull off what would be a sensational statement signing, while Real
would find it hard to turn down €100m for their star man, who turns 31
in February.
Ultimately it will come down to Team Ronaldo.
