Prior to the transfer deadline, Champions League club decides whether to sign Cristiano Ronaldo.
A few hours before the summer transfer window ends, UEFA Champions League club Napoli has made a definitive decision to acquire Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.
As the summer transfer window comes to an end, Ronaldo is still rumored to be leaving Manchester United.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner wants to play in the UEFA Champions League, but Man United cannot provide him the opportunity this year because the Red Devils placed sixth in the Premier League last season.
One of the major teams rumored to be interested in the 37-year-old is Napoli, who will play in the Champions League this year.
Il Mattino reports that Napoli has ruled out the chance of acquiring Ronaldo from Man United before the deadline on Thursday.
In recent weeks, Ronaldo has been associated with the Serie A team as he frantically looks to leave Old Trafford and play Champions League football this year.
The former Real Madrid and Juventus player appears to have little choice but to seek elsewhere because Napoli isn't interested in bringing him back to Italy before the summer transfer window shuts.
