JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly getting closer to Manchester United's exit. Barcelona is said to be a surprising destination for the Portuguese superstar.

Currently the future of the player with the initials CR7 continues to be a rumor. He is reported to have asked management to release if there is a suitable offer from a club that is interested in his services.

According to the latest report from the Daily Star, Barcelona is one of the teams ready to accommodate Ronaldo. The Catalan club are even considering landing the former player of their rival club Real Madrid.

The report states that club president Joan Laporta earlier this week met with Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes. This meeting allegedly discussed Ronaldo's plan to move to Camp Nou.

According to Spanish media AS, Barcelona had wanted to sign Ronaldo last summer when he left Juventus. However, they decided against it due to their difficult financial situation.

However, the Blaugrana's financial condition is now starting to be healthy again so it is possible for them to get the 37-year-old player's signature.

If he wears Barcelona's uniform, Ronaldo will risk making a stain on his impressive score with Real Madrid, which is Barcelona's eternal rival. Thus, if you consider that, Ronaldo is unlikely to want to go to Camp Nou.

Ronaldo previously caused a stir in the media last week after asking the club to let him leave Old Trafford. The request came because of his dissatisfaction with the club's transfer policy which he considered less enthusiastic about bringing in new players.

This made Ronaldo immediately linked with several clubs, including Chelsea. However, the Blues coach Thomas Tuchel is not so sure the owner of five Ballon d'Or will fit into his team's philosophy of play.

German Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, are also reportedly interested in signing Ronaldo. Signing Ronaldo is considered a way out for FC Hollywood in the midst of Robert Lewandowski's desire to leave for Barcelona.

The Italian duo, Roma and Napoli, were also briefly linked with the former Sporting Lisbon player. However, it is somewhat impossible for Ronaldo to want to move to Rome, which does not appear in the European Champions League next season.
