Paris Saint- Germain have stolen a march on their rivals if Cristiano Ronaldo decides to leave Real Madrid after the French side held clandestine talks with his agent in Cardiff.
Ronaldo, 32, has told Madrid he will leave Spain for good if convicted of tax fraud this summer. The World Player of the Year does not believe he has been treated fairly over claims in Spain that he owes the taxman £13million.
If he does leave the reigning European champions, PSG will be first in the queue for his services after talking through possibilities with Jorge Mendes in Cardiff two weeks ago.
