Cristiano Ronaldo Player Profile

Real Madrid have put Manchester United on alert by considering selling Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portugal star is under contract until 2018 but Florentino Perez, according to reports in Spain, wants rid of him before then while he can still get a substantial fee.

Perez is said to be concerned about Ronaldo's on-going chronic knee injury and hopes to hand Gareth Bale centre stage at the Bernabeu despite reports linking him away from the club.

Barcelona are preparing a move for Jordan Henderson.

The Liverpool midfielder, expected to become captain when Steven Gerrard leaves for LA Galaxy, is out of contract in 2018.

And the Spanish giants could begin pre-contract talks with him next January.

The 24-year-old moved to Anfield in 2011 for a deal worth around £20m.

Barcelona are under transfer embargo until next January but Liverpool are expected to offer Henderson a new deal before then.

And Barcelona are also keen on another Premier League star.

Angel Di Maria is being lined up for a shock £60m move back to Spain

The Argentina star has struggled for form in recent weeks with Louis van Gaal coming to his defence after substituting him in the last two matches.

Van Gaal said: "The first season is always difficult.

"You can say it to every player we have bought: (Luke) Shaw, (Daley) Blind, (Ander) Herrera, (Radamel) Falcao and also Di Maria.

"For me it is not a big surprise, it is more a big surprise (if) he (had) adapted as quickly as possible."

And finally Bacary Sagna is ready to quit Manchester City after just nine months.

The France right-back left Arsenal in the summer but has struggled to displace Pablo Zabaleta in Manuel Pellegrini's side.

According to the Mirror he could be on his way to Roma to join Ashley Cole.
