Leonardo: Paris Saint-Germain sporting director opens door for Cristiano Ronaldo move

Ronaldo's future at Juve was cast in doubt earlier this week after reports emerged suggesting that the reigning Serie A champions were looking to offload him at the end of the season amid growing financial concerns. 

Ligue 1 giants PSG have since been linked with a move for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, prompting sporting director Leonardo to admit that the Parisians are one of the few clubs in the world who could lure Ronaldo away from Turin.

"It could be that one day Cristiano gets out of bed in the morning and decides he would like to join another team," the 51-year-old said, per Marca.

"How many clubs can a player like him play for, four or five? It's a closed circle, PSG are in this circle and people are always talking about us…

"But there have to be certain opportunities, circumstances, and moments in time. It's normal that this possibility is talked about, although, due to the craziness of the market, he is not within reach at the moment."
