Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent has met with Paris Saint-Germain to discuss a transfer to the Ligue 1 side from Real Madrid, though the talks will not pave a way for a summer move this year.

Jorge Mendes, the proclaimed ‘super-agent’ responsible for handling matters involving the likes of Jose Mourinho, David De Gea and Ronaldo, is said to have travelled to Paris this week to hold discussions with PSG over a future move for the Real superstar.

Ronaldo has insisted he is happy at the Santiago Bernabeu, with the chance of a second Champions League winners’ medal in the space of three seasons a possibility when Real meet city rivals Atletico Madrid in the final later this month. Manchester United, along with PSG, have been linked with making a move for Ronaldo, but rumours of discontent earlier in the season have disappeared and the likelihood is that Ronaldo will remain with the Spanish club for next season.

However, his future beyond the 2016/17 season isn’t as clear. Real president Florentino Perez is determined to tie Ronaldo down to a new five-year contract in order for the three-time Ballon d’Or winner to end his career at the Santiago Bernabeu, but Ronaldo has spoken before that he doesn’t know what the future holds and he would consider leaving the club if the move was right.

According to French newspaper Le Parisien, Mendes met with PSG representatives this week to discuss a move next summer. Ronaldo is out of contract in 2018, and Real would have to realistically consider selling Ronaldo next summer if he decides against signing a contract extension.

United would certainly offer a different destination, with Ronaldo expressing a desire to return to his former club before he retires should the Premier League side want him back among their ranks. Fans urged the club to sign Ronaldo last summer when suggestions of a move surfaced, only for Ronaldo to commit his future – at least for 2015/16 – to the Madrid club.

At 31 years old, Ronaldo may have just one more transfer left before he retires, having admitted in an interview last November that he intends to retire “in four or five years’ time”.
