The 2021 transfer window has been wild this season. After confirmed transfers of Lionel Messi and Romelu Lukaku, multiple names like Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo are still being rumoured for possible transfers.

Ronaldo who has been one of the most important players for Juventus only has a year left on his contract. While Juve and the Portuguese have had some success domestically, they have had their fair share of struggles in the European competitions.

While Ronaldo is a generational goal-scoring talent the 5-time Ballon D’or winner is on a hefty contract. With a contract that pays him 31 million per year, only a super European team can afford the superstar. After signing free agents like Leo Messi and Sergio Ramos PSG might not be able to afford such high wages right now.

The Parisians have a super-team right now and Ronaldo could have been the icing on the cake. A team containing Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar might have been a dream team. But bringing in Ronaldo without breaking FFP looks pretty much impossible.
