Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season?

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly planning to leave the Bernabeu when the season comes to a close next May.

The Portugal captain, who won the Ballon d'Or for a third time in January, has been linked with a return to Manchester United for some time.

The 30-year-old joined the Spanish giants from Old Trafford for a then-world record £80m fee, but rumours have suggested that Ronaldo is considering calling time on his Madrid career.

According to Le10Sport, journalist Fredric Hermel has claimed that Ronaldo wants to leave the Bernabeu and may ponder a return to United, while Paris Saint-Germain and a switch to MLS in the United States are also said to be options.

Ronaldo, who joined Madrid in 2009, has scored eight goals so far this season, five of which came in his side's emphatic win over Espanyol in La Liga.
