Ronaldo's Agent Held Secret Talks With PSG Just Hours Before Champions League Final

​The agent of Cristiano Ronaldo is alleged to have held secret talks with Paris Saint-Germain just hours before the forward played for Real Madrid in the Champions League final. 

The ​Mail claims that Jorge Mendes met with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi in Cardiff on the afternoon of June 3rd and the duo spent several hours together.

Though Mendes has ties with a number of players at the French club, the Mail suggest that it was Ronaldo's future that was discussed at great length between the two men and that Al-Khelaifi was warned that the Portuguese international could be on the lookout for a new club in the near future.

PSG are understood to have asked Mendes to keep them informed of Ronaldo's situation at the Bernabeu, and they may well have stolen a march on the likes of Manchester United, who are one of the clubs currently being linked with the 2016 Ballon d'Or winner.

The 32-year-old's future at Real Madrid now looks uncertain with ​reports suggesting on Friday that he wants to leave Spain after the authorities accused him of tax evasion.

The accusation is just one of a number of reasons why Ronaldo allegedly wants to leave Los Blancos this summer, and inevitably talk of his departure has sparked widespread rumours about his next destination.

A return to United seems like a viable option for the former Old Trafford favourite; however, PSG remains in the mix and have long dreamed of signing the Portugal captain.

Indeed, the Parisians attempted to sign Ronaldo 18 months ago before he eventually opted to sign a new deal at Madrid.

It remains to be seen whether reports of the player's unhappiness are true, but PSG's wealthy owners will be quietly confident that they can match any price tag he is given by his employers, as they look to pull off what would most likely be the signing of the transfer window.

Marco Verratti Snubs Messi For Ronaldo

La Liga giants Barcelona top summer target Marco Verratti has apparently snubbed Barca for Real Madrid.

According to Express, The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder wants to join Real Madrid instead as he sees Real as more of an attractive proposition than playing with Lionel Messi at Barca.

It is suggested that Verratti is intrigued by the team in which Florentino Perez is building at the Bernabeu and will like to be part of their plans.

It appears as if playing with Cristiano Ronaldo and the progress Real are making is convincing potential targets to join the newly-crowned champions over Barca.

Because other stars like Juventus's Paulo Dybala, Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe, and Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also prefer a move to Real over Barca on the same conditions as Verratti.

I hate PSG, I will never sign with them - Andre-Pierre Gignac

Tigres striker Andre-Pierre Gignac says that he 'would rather kick the bucket' than sign with Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.

The 31-year-old France striker has put in five years playing for the Ligue 1 team, whom he has fanned from a young age
Be that as it may, Gignac moved to Mexico in the late spring of 2015 to join up with Tigres, after netting 23 goals across over all competitions in his last season with Marseille.

Gignac was interviewed this week. When asked whether he would come back to France later on if Paris Saint-Germain offered him the opportunity to, something he said could never occur because of his contempt for the club.

"I detest PSG – I'd rather die than sign with them," Gignac told Life and Style. "In the event that PSG offered me 10 times more cash, I would not go there.

Gignac went on to further emphasise his hatred for PSG, revealing how he went wild when Barcelona knocked Unai Emery’s side out of the Champions League last month.
“You’ve got no idea how I shouted at Barcelona’s sixth goal in the Champions League,” Gignac added. “I screamed, ran, everything. My wife was even a little scared!”

Gignac started his senior career with Lorient and after three seasons there, the forward moved on to join Pau where he spent just one campaign.
Gignac, who was in France’s squad at Euro 2016 last year ahead of Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette, then moved to Toulouse where he spent four seasons before eventually joining Marseille.
