The 37-year-old wants to compete for major trophies during the final seasons of his illustrious career and AS are reporting that the prospect of a shock move to Barcelona has been discussed.

Barcelona are currently pursuing a deal to sign Robert Lewandowski, though could turn to Ronaldo as an alternative – or as a method of negotiation – should Bayern Munich fail to compromise on their terms.

A move to Barcelona would see Ronaldo join an exclusive group of players to have represented both sides of the El Clasico divide, having become Real Madrid’s all-time record goalscorer during a nine-year spell in the Spanish capital.

Barcelona also retain an interest in signing Bernardo Silva from Manchester City, but will find a deal difficult to do. The Premier League champions value the midfielder in the region of €100m, a fee that is out of reach for the Catalan club at present.
