 Ronaldo's worldwide celebrity status means getting him would bring a huge increase in sponsorship deals and television views, with Marseille conducting studies into the financial impact the possible transfer could have on the club, as reported by Bild.

 'A study is being carried out to find out what Ronaldo could bring to the club financially,' said former Marseille player Jean-Charles De Bono. 'This was also done by PSG at Messi.'

'Olympique decided to study the impact Ronaldo is having on sponsors around the world to bring them to Marseille.'

A move to France would see Ronaldo compete in a fifth European league having already starred in Portugal, La Liga, Serie A, and twice in the English Premier League.
