Portugal legend reckons Cristiano Ronaldo should join PSG amid Man United interest
CRISTIANO RONALDO should join Paris Saint-Germain, according to Portugal hero Pauleta.
Cristiano Ronaldo - Spotlight On
The former PSG striker feels his Portuguese compatriot should make the Parc des Princes his next home after the 30-year-old, who is contracted to Real Madrid until 2018, put the Ligue 1 giants and former club Manchester United on alert when casting doubts over his future in Spain.
Ronaldo recently broke Raul's goalscoring record at Madrid, scoring 326 goals in all competitions, but now that PSG have been given permission to pursue the striker after concerns over Financial Fair Play (FFP) restrictions, Pauleta reckons a move to France would be a perfect fit for his fellow countryman.

Speaking to Radio MARCA, Pauleta said: "PSG deserves to have a player of Cristiano Ronaldo's quality. It would be a good place for him to play for two or three seasons.”
Pauleta has seen Ronaldo surpass his goalscoring record of 49 for Portugal and has also saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic overtake his club-record haul of 109 goals for the French club this year.
