Talk of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Real Madrid “has some legs”, says Sid Lowe.

The Portugal international is thought to be angling for a move away from the Spanish capital in the summer transfer window.

Ronaldo is thought to be interested in a potential return to Manchester United, having left the Red Devils in 2009.

The 32-year-old secured a then-world record £80m move to Real Madrid from Manchester United after having won three Premier League titles and the Champions League on three occasions.

Speaking to The Football Weekly podcast about Ronaldo’s potential exit from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, La Liga expert Lowe said:

“I think this [story] has got some legs. I don’t know how it will end.

“There isn’t a clear solution but this isn’t something which won’t go away.”

Ronaldo won his third Champions League crown with Real Madrid earlier this month after the forward scored twice in a 4-1 win against Juventus in final in Cardiff.

Manchester United secured a return to the Champions League last season thanks to a 2-0 win against Dutch side Ajax in the Champions League final.
