PSG have jumped to the front in the race for Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Daily Mail says 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 during Champions League final week.

Mendes held a two-hour meeting with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi at the city's Hilton Hotel.

Meanwhile, Manchester United officials have always been aware of the attraction of a Ronaldo return but would in all likelihood be unwilling to compete with the kind of financial package put together by PSG for a player around whom manager Jose Mourinho would essentially have to build his whole team.
