Cristiano Ronaldo linked to Marseille that would form wild attack with Dimitri Payet
Wantaway Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has been linked with a move to French side Marseille – and he could be part of the most bonkers attack in Europe.
The Ligue 1 side could add Ronaldo to a front three that already includes Dimitri Payet and Alexis Sanchez. Marseille can also offer the Portuguese megastar Champions League football, which was believed to be Ronaldo’s key factor in leaving United.
However, Marseille appear to have made clear they won’t be making a move for the 37-year-old. But it hasn’t stopped fans and local legends from pleading with Ronaldo to make the move to southern France.

Former Arsenal and Manchester City winger Samir Nasri told French outlet Canal+ Sport : “I have a solution for him.
“He can terminate his contract, they give him half his year and in Marseille, they make an effort, they give him something and he comes to play in the Champions League. A Cristiano Ronaldo-Alexis Sanchez attack looks good.”
Marseille are unbeaten in Ligue 1 this season, and they are in third spot two points off the pacesetters PSG.
