Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Napoli are Cristiano Ronaldo’s three possible destinations if he chooses to leave Manchester United, according to The Mirror.
Journalist David McDonnell claims that the Portuguese international is keen on a move away from Old Trafford in order to play in the Champions League and he does have a number of suitors already lined up to take him:

Supporters on Twitter don’t feel that Ronaldo would move to a Premier League rival, and they can’t see Napoli being able to afford him, so some assume that he’ll end up at Bayern:
Hope he ends at Bayern

Realistically there is only Bayern he should go to if he wants to challenge for trophies then that’s the team the other 2 aren’t challenging for anything

It is believed that all three clubs have prepared performance-related salaries as none are willing to pay Ronaldo the £500,000 a week he is currently on. Whether the 37-year-old would accept such offers, though, it remains to be seen.
As things stand, United’s public stance is that Ronaldo isn’t for sale, but there is said to be an acceptance privately that his second spell at the club is set to come to an end.
