It's a name that has never really disappeared from the Parisian decor.
The track has always been explored at PSG with the desire to see him wear the club jersey one day.
Thus, Paris has never given up on recruiting Cristiano Ronaldo, 36, and has, according to our information, reopened the file since Tuesday evening.
The new elimination of Juventus Turin in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Porto (1-2, 3-2), the second in a row after that suffered against Lyon in August 2020, creates an earthquake in Piedmont.
The galaxy of the Old Lady has designated a culprit since this failure: Cristiano Ronaldo.
One year from the end of his contract in Italy, the five-time Ballon d'Or France Football is no longer seen as a solution, but rather a problem.

His net salary - 31 million euros per season - weighs, it seems, much more than his 27 goals in 32 games, in all competitions.

The two men exchange regularly, sending each other morning messages about everything and nothing at the same time, often in the form of a video where one films himself by simply saying hello to the other.
Like two friends who have an unwavering bond.
The president of PSG is therefore not unaware of the discomfort of the Portuguese star at Juventus Turin.
He also knows, even if he once again affirmed after qualifying on Wednesday evening that Neymar and Mbappé “will remain Parisians” next season, that the world champion could change his tunic next summer.
