Fresh reports reaching us suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo was offered to Barcelona by his agent Jorge Mendes.
The Portugal international is facing torrid times as he seeks to leave Old Trafford. The want-away Ronaldo is forcing his exit from Manchester United but the move is getting complicated as no club is willing to sign him.
According to reports, the player is ready to take a pay cut of around 30% from what he is currently pocketing at Manchester United but a number of clubs who can meet that figure have already turned a blind eye on the five time ballon D’or.

“Jorge Mendes is making it clear to clubs put off by his wages that Cristiano Ronaldo is willing to take a significant pay cut, potentially as high as 30%. Ronaldo remains interested in an Atletico move. But club continue to distance themselves, as previously reported.
“Mendes even offered Ronaldo to Barcelona prior to them signing Robert Lewandowski. No club is currently close to signing Ronaldo allowing #MUFC to maintain their ‘not for sale’ stance without it being challenged. Erik ten Hag remains hopeful of having clear-the-air talks, too.
“Sources close to Ronaldo say he’s keen to not only play #UCL but join a club where he feels burden of output isn’t solely on him. He wants support, which he believes is key to maintaining his peak. This is particularly important in a World Cup year with added games mid-season,” wrote Jacobs.
On paper this was an ideal move considering that Ronaldo has vast experience in the Laliga and also Barcelona was looking for someone who is well experienced to join the squad upfront.
Another factor to consider is that Ronaldo has no experience only in the Laliga. Ronaldo is a well-proven talisman who marked his legacy in other leagues, Serie A and England.
