- Hasan Salihamidzic says the player was and is not a topic for the club
- Ronaldo not an option to replace Robert Lewandowski in Bayern attack
- Portuguese star turned down lucrative offer from unnamed Saudi Arabian club
Bayern Munich have once again reiterated that they are not interested in bringing Cristiano Ronaldo to the club this summer.
The German giants have long been linked with Manchester United‘s wantaway star, as the Portuguese seeks a way out of Old Trafford in search of Champions League Football.
However, Bayern Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidzic has moved once again to deny the club want to bring the 37-year-old to the Allianz Arena.

Cristiano Ronaldo is keen to leave Manchester United but is running out of viable options
‘I have a lot of respect for Cristiano Ronaldo, his successes and his career. But once again: That was and is not a topic for us.’ Salihamidzic told SPORT1.
The latest rejection is a further blow to Ronaldo and his desire to leave Manchester United in the summer transfer window. With Bayern the latest club to pull out the race.
Chelsea and PSG have both also distanced themselves with moves from the striker, while the early interest from Napoli and Atletico Madrid seems to have also waned.

Earlier this week Cristiano turned down a proposal to join an unnamed Saudi Arabian club, that would have made the United number seven the highest paid footballer in the world.
The club had made a £25 million bid to United and were set to offer Ronaldo a staggering £250m in wages over the next two seasons if he agreed to move to the middle east.
However, his desire to still compete for major trophies in a top league during the twilight years of his career means a move to Saudi isn’t an option.
