Ronaldo appeared on the radar of City amid concerns that Pep Guardiola’s side would not be able to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham.

Berbatov who shared the same locker room with Ronaldo at the Old Trafford told betfair:

"Manchester City have been linked with him and, now that they won't be signing Kane, they are probably looking at other options in attack.
"Ronaldo would be a good fit at Man City but do I see him going there? I doubt it. He is still one of the best in the world but Pep Guardiola's philosophy might not suit them signing Ronaldo.
"With his history with United, I don't see him gaining anything by going to City."
"It's not impossible that Ronaldo will join Lionel Messi in Paris because PSG can afford anyone they want."

PSG source hints on Ronaldo's move

Meanwhile, PSG owner's brother, Khalifa Bin Hamad Al-Thanihas dropped the biggest hint yet on Cristiano Ronaldo potentially linking up with Lionel Messi at the French club.

Despite the clear football rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo, millions of fans around the world have been dreaming to see the two share the locker room.
