Ronaldo may quit Real Madrid for Manchester United this summer with the 33-year-old hellbent to return to Old Trafford.
The Portugal star, who has taken the World Cup by storm by blitzing four goals from his first two outings, suggested his time at the Bernabeu was up after the Champions League final.
Cristiano Ronaldo has maintained a silence in the time since, instead focusing his efforts on firing his country to the world’s biggest trophy.
And Spanish website Diario Gol say Ronaldo is closer to rejoining United than he is remaining at Real.
Nine years ago, the player left Old Trafford.
And during the time since, Ronaldo has established himself as arguably Real’s greatest-ever player.
Not only has he fired them to four Champions League titles - becoming the tournament’s highest-scorer in the process.
But he has also scored more goals than any other player, surpassing the 323 goals hit by Raul.
Diario Gol say Ronaldo’s Real future was discussed by Croatia duo Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic after their 3-0 win over Argentina last night.
And Modric reportedly told the Barcelona star that Ronaldo appears set to leave, with United understood to be his preferred destination.
GETTYPSG have also been mentioned as potential suitors.
And while the Ligue 1 giants have the pulling power to make a transfer happen, Financial Fair Play regulations may scupper their pursuit.
Ronaldo is next in action for Portugal when they face Iran on Monday night (7pm).
With Barcelona’s Lionel Messi looking likely to be dumped out with Argentina, it would give the Real Madrid star another chance to prove himself on the world’s biggest stage.
