Real Madrid have now reportedly shortlisted Manchester United megastar Cristiano Ronaldo as one of their targets following their failure to lure Kylian Mbappe to the Bernabeu.
The La Liga champions were left stunned after the France superstar announced he had signed a gigantic new deal with Paris Saint-Germain at the weekend when he looked a dead cert to move to Spain. With their summer plans ripped up, Madrid have now rewritten their wish list, which features Ronaldo alongside Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele.
That’s according to AS, which claims the United striker was close to a Los Blancos return last year with the 37-year-old still owning a mansion in Madrid. The Spanish club’s transfer strategy hinges on the result of their Champions League final with Liverpool on Saturday.

But their pursuit of Ronaldo may be tough either way, with new United boss Erik ten Hag indicating his wish to keep the Portugal captain at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, West Ham have made an offer to Jesse Lingard, according to the Daily Mail.
The midfielder starred for the Hammers during the second half of the 2020/21 season, when he netted nine goals and grabbed five assists in 16 matches. The England international was tipped to make a permanent switch the following summer but opted to fight for his place at United.
The decision has proved to be a frustrating one for Lingard, the 29-year-old making just four starts in the 22 games he played this season. The Newcastle target was denied an Old Trafford farewell earlier this month before being left out of the final day loss to Crystal Palace ahead of his contract expiring next month.
