Despite having Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar already on their roster, it is said that the club does not consider him a necessary addition at this time. The Parisians pulled out of a possible deal because of his high pay. PSG does not want to add Ronaldo to their already-exorbitant payroll, which is already around £500,000 per week.

The 5 times Ballon d’Or winner was snubbed by Bayern Munich, who are one of Europe’s finest clubs. After Robert Lewandowski decided to leave the club this summer, rumors began to circulate that Ronaldo could be on his way to the Allianz Arena.
According to the Mirror, the club had a list of possible replacements for Lewandowski, and the 37-year-old was one of them. According to Hasan Salihamidzic, Bayern Munich’s club director, they are not interested in signing a player from Portugal.
1. Chelsea
Chelsea As reported by The Guardian, Chelsea’s representatives have also decided not to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. Boehly and Mendes discussed the possibility of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner playing for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, on the other hand, made it plain after meetings with the German that he desired a more fluid and dynamic assault. Additionally, Raheem Sterling has recently joined Chelsea, and their front line appears to be overflowing with talent.
