The player’s agent made it clear that his client wants Champions League football as well, but the allure of the Premier League may prove too tough to ignore.

Mendes is still working to try and find a way to bring Ronaldo to Naples, but it’s clear that Manchester United would need to contribute to most, if not all, his wages.

Partenopei defender Mario Rui also made it clear that the squad would welcome the 37-year-old “with open arms.”
