Cristiano Ronaldo’s son appears to ride jet ski in Portugal
Barcelona do not have the money to sign Cristiano Ronaldo and play him alongside Lionel Messi. That is the view of former Netherlands and AC Milan legend Ruud Gullit.
After two seasons with Juventus, Ronaldo has been unable to help the Italian side win the Champions League.
Last week, the Portuguese star was a frustrated figure at Juve crashed out in the last 16 to Lyon.
And their exit has led to reports Ronaldo could leave Turin, with a blockbuster move to Lionel Messi's Barcelona proposed.
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has claimed Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes has been instructed to find a new club for the player.

Ronaldo's £28million-a-year salary will prove a stumbling block for many clubs, especially following the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
And Gullit believes any chance of a return to Spain with Barcelona are slim.
"Everybody knows Ronaldo wants to win the Champions League," Gullit told beIN SPORTS.
He wants to end his career with the fact he's won the most Ballon d'Ors. He can't do that right now because he is behind. He wants to win a lot of Champions League's with different clubs.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo's new manager Andrea Pirlo has been compared to Pep Guardiola by former Brescia director Gianluca Nani.
"He has a little bit of Guardiola [in him]," Nani told the Daily Mail. "I don't see Pirlo playing with long balls! I see him playing attractive, offensive football, that is how I see Pirlo.
"As a player he had the same attitude as Guardiola. They were different as a player but the same mentality, the same philosophy. That is why I think he will be that sort of coach. Try to play football, try to score more than the other, be organised, he is a smart guy and really intelligent.
