Galatasaray are ready to launch a serious move for Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

Gala expressed interest in Ronaldo last summer without making a formal offer.

However, with Ronaldo now having fallen out with manager Erik ten Hag and expected to leave in January, Gala are ready to try again.

Turkish media sources say they will attempt to strike a deal with Ronaldo over the New Year.

There is an expectation that United will grant Ronaldo a free transfer - so long as the signing club agree to take on his wages in full. So leaving Gala clear to negotiate directly with the 37 year-old striker.
