Italian Serie A side Napoli could have a new attacking force next season after they registered an interest in Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.&nbsp;

Ronaldo has<a href="https://www.pulse.ng/sports/football/cristiano-ronaldo-wants-to-leave-manchester-united-but-the-club-better-not-be-signing/c212c0l"> reportedly told Man Utd</a> that he wants to leave the club this summer if the right offer arrives.

Although Ronaldo loves Manchester United, he wants to play in the Champions League next season.&nbsp;

And with United unable to offer him Champions League football after they finished sixth in the Premier League last season, Ronaldo is looking for a move.&nbsp;

While United will still love to keep the ex-Real Madrid man, Napoli are ready to offer him an escape route, which will guarantee him Champions League football following their third-place finish in the Italian Serie A last season.&nbsp;

<h3>Ronaldo in Naples </h3>

According to <a href="https://theathletic.com/news/cristiano-ronaldo-manchester-united-transfer/mcRLqZDo8fXJ/">The Athletic</a>, the Neapolitans are interested in the Portuguese star, although Chelsea and Bayern Munich are also potential suitors.&nbsp;

However, should Ronaldo join Napoli, he will likely link up with Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen in a new attacking lineup.&nbsp;

Osimhen, who has been linked with a big-money move away from Naples, is expected to stay this summer, and that could see him potentially partner with Ronaldo up front.&nbsp;

<h3>Osimhen and Ronaldo combination</h3>

Although Napoli mainly played a 4-3-3 formation last season with Osimhen down the middle, there were times Osimhen also paired with Dries Mertens up front.&nbsp;

And with Lorenzo Insigne gone, Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti could also consider pairing Ronaldo and Osimhen together should the former arrive at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.&nbsp;
