Bayern Munich reject chance to sign Cristiano Ronaldo
The latest rejection is a further blow to Ronaldo and his desire to leave Manchester United in the summer transfer window following reports that his agent Jorge Mendes had offered him to a number of Champions League-involved teams.
With Bayern dismissing the links to Ronaldo, the Bavarians may still need to recruit in the forward area after finally agreeing to sell Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona.
The Polish hitman has publicly declared his desire to represent the Blaugrana and a £42m fee has been agreed with Barcelona with Lewandowski set to fly out to Spain this weekend in order to finalise the deal.
Chelsea as well PSG have both also distanced themselves with moves from the striker, with reports claiming Blues coach Thomas Tuchel personally rejecting a move for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Bayern Munich now reportedly become the 5th club to reject Jorge Mendes' client following the likes of PSG, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
The Portuguese was also rumored to be offered a move to Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Napoli.
Ronaldo Transfer News
Earlier this week, Ronaldo turned down a proposal to join an unnamed Saudi Arabian club, that would have made the United superstar the highest-paid footballer in the history of football.
The club had made a £25 million bid to United and were set to offer Ronaldo a staggering £250m in wages over the next two seasons if he agreed to move to the middle east.
However, his desire to still compete for major trophies in European football during the final years of his career took priority over the option of travelling overseas.
