Ronaldo tipped to join Messi at PSG

Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has tipped Man Utd star, Christiano Ronaldo, to join French club Paris Saint Germain PSG if he leaves Man Utd.

Ronaldo’s future at Old Trafford is uncertain, with Erik ten Hag to take over as the club’s new permanent manager this summer.

Merson believes PSG could make a move for Ronaldo as they aim to win the Champions League finally.

This is because even after signing Messi last summer, the French side could not win the UCL.

They are close to losing Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid on a free transfer in the summer.

Because of this, Merson believes the French side could consider Ronaldo as a short-term replacement, as he is a “proven asset” in the Champions League.

“This might be Cristiano Ronaldo’s last year in the Premier League. He’ll want to play in the Champions League – he’s played in it all his career,” Merson told Sportskeeda.

“I’d be surprised if Erik ten Hag wants him there to be honest – he’s trying to build his team, and Ronaldo is 37 years old. PSG could go for him and make him their short-term replacement for Kylian Mbappe. PSG only want one thing – the Champions League. Ronaldo is a proven asset in the competition – he’s scored goals, he sells shirts, he’s done it all.

“Ligue 1 is an easy league, and Ronaldo will be able to focus on the Champions League at PSG. With Lionel Messi already at the club, we may well see two of the greatest players of all time playing for the same team.”
