Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been offered to Barcelona as Juventus look to free up their wage bill this summer.
That’s according to renowned Spanish football expert, Guillem Balague, who says that Ronaldo is on extravagant wages at Juventus as the club enters a period of financial uncertainty, and Barcelona has emerged as a surprise potential destination.
According to Balague, the former Real Madrid star is paid a whopping €23m-a-year and the club have offered his services to a number of clubs – even Barcelona.
“The reason why Cristiano Ronaldo has been linked to PSG is not so much that PSG are thinking of getting him, it is because Jorge Mendes has been given instructions to find a team for Ronaldo,” Balague told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“I’m not sure if they can get rid of him easily [because] with the kind of money he still earns – 23million euros net – that he was earning at Real Madrid and I think he equalled those wages when he went to Juventus.
“Who is going to pay that kind of money?”
