Cristiano Ronaldo has emerged as a subject of interest for Napoli. And the Partenopei will tap into the options to bring the wantaway Man United striker to Naples. Portugal international’s regression has opened a new avenue for Man United, as the club has not missed his service at all and looked like a completely different side altogether.

Erik ten Hag tried to accommodate Cristiano in his system from the start of the campaign. But the incident in the match with Tottenham has burnt the bridges with the Dutch coach, and he will be no more the preferred choice for the manager.

Ronaldo left the stadium before the match ended and was later left out of the Chelsea matchday squad as the Dutch manager did not want it to impact their on-field performance. Napoli would be needing some experienced footballers who could provide them with an uplift for a title tilt.

And the 37-year-old centre-forward could deliver the desired result. Having already won two Scudettos in his stint with Juventus the Portuguese striker is well-versed with the rigours of Serie A. Napoli have built a competitive squad, and a possible Victor Osimhen-Ronaldo combination could lit up Serie A once again.

The Partenopei’s financial viability also could reach a new high as the Portuguese could change the scene if he does agree to a deal. Man United are set to terminate Cristiano’s deal on favourable terms. And Napoli could definitely lick their chops if they add the proven goal scorer to their ranks.
