REAL MADRID are reportedly the latest big club to turn down a move from Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 37-year-old ace sent shockwaves through the footballing world when he announced he plans to leave Manchester United this summer.

He dropped the bombshell after United failed to qualify for next season’s Champions League after a dismal season that saw the Red Devils finish sixth.
Ronaldo wants to get up close and personal with the best in the world on Europe’s biggest stage and wants to leave Old Trafford to do it.
Ronaldo’s desire to leave the Red Devils was confirmed on Tuesday by Piers Morgan, who has been in touch with the winger.
However, his route out of Old Trafford has not gone to plan as many of the continent’s titans have ruled out a nosedive for the Portuguese attacker.
Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has worked tirelessly to secure a move from United for his biggest client.
He initially offered Paris Saint-Germain the opportunity to snap up Ronaldo, but they declined.
Bayern Munich’s response was the same as PSG’s when they were contacted via CR7.
The Bundesliga champions were reportedly considering a move for Ronaldo until their boss Julian Nagelsmann poured cold water on the rumours.

Chelsea have also been linked with Ronaldo before splashing out £50m on Raheem Sterling.
And now, according to Marca, Ronaldo’s ex-club Madrid has also apologized for the race.
After joining from United in 2009, he spent nine glorious seasons at the Bernabeu, amassing 446 goals and 131 assists in 436 games in all competitions.
But he won’t get a chance to repeat the feat as the La Liga side aren’t keen on welcoming him into their ranks.
Los Blancos have already spent around £85m to bring in Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco alongside ex-Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger, albeit for free.
And they’re focused on getting rid of some deadweight before re-entering the market, the report adds.
When they finally pull out the check book, not a penny will be spent on Ronaldo, who might be forced to hold out at United unless a prospect comes around soon.
