CRISTIANO RONALDO’S agent Jorge Mendes is reportedly still trying to engineer a transfer for the Manchester United star.
Ronaldo, 37, held talks with the club last week about his future.
He later returned to training before playing his first minutes of pre-season against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.
But with the season set to kick off at the weekend Ronaldo’s future is still up in the air.
Several clubs have been linked with a move for the superstar and Mendes is still on the lookout for a potential suitor, according to the Daily Mail.
The agent will reportedly do “everything he can” to push through a move with Ronaldo desperate to play Champions League football.
