Ronaldo can take Italian football back to where it was, says Neymar

However, Zinedine Zidane's surprise departure, and the subsequent transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus, has seen rumours linking Bale to Old Trafford die down in recent weeks.

After a disappointing end to his World Cup campaign with Portugal, Ronaldo headed straight to Greece with his family and holidayed there for 10 days.

Ronaldo moved to Juventus from Real Madrid - with whom he won the Champions League once again last season - for €100 million (OMR44.66 million), as the Italian side chases their own elusive Champions League.

Juventus and former Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo tipped a luxurious resort in Greece a whopping GBP 17,850 that roughly amounts to Rs 16 lakh.

Neymar, who is rumoured to be replacing the Portugal global at Real, told reporters that Ronaldo is a genius and that his move will change Italian football.

Mourinho worried by Man United’s ‘very bad’ pre-season
That's the verdict of former Arsenal ace Stewart Robson, who says the winger's impressive World Cup will have reignited United's interest.

Speaking at his press conference, the five time Ballon d'Or victor said, "I am not sad to leave Real Madrid".

It is claimed Bale's deals with Adidas, BT and EA Sports make him the fourth highest player in revenues behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar.

"He is a legend in football, a genius". I think that fiscally it favours him to go to Italy. "I'm happy for his decision, I think it was a hard decision for him, and I wish him luck, but not against PSG".

"I'm staying. I'm staying in Paris. I want to have success with that club and I hope next season could be wonderful".
