Real Madrid Rejected £85m Offer from PSG for Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid has turned down a sensational £85m Paris Saint-Germain bid for Cristiano Ronaldo, according to the lead story in Spanish newspaper AS.
Picturing the Portuguese star arriving in China for the latest leg of Real's pre-season tour, the paper quotes various Arab media outlets for their lead story.
PSG, who have wealthy Qatari owners, are among the very few superpower clubs who could afford to buy Ronaldo in the unlikely event Real accept an offer.

Indeed, £85m seems remarkably cheap for the world's best footballer, especially as his last transfer fee was £80m when he moved from Manchester United to the Bernabeu in 2009.
There are also reflections on the 2018 World Cup draw, which has pitted Spain alongside Italy, Albania, Israel, Macedonia and Liechtenstein in Group G.
'Italy in the way of La Roja' runs the headline on AS, who point out that only the group winner qualifies automatically with the rest facing the lottery of the play-offs.
Marca have the latest developments on the David de Gea transfer saga with Manchester United annoyed that Real Madrid won't pay their asking fee, which is in the region of £28m.

The Premier League club acknowledge that De Gea does want to return home to Spain but won't just give him away.
Mundo Deportivo and Sport reflect on Barcelona's 3-1 friendly loss to United in Santa Clara, California on Saturday night.
'They hit the post' says the headline on Mundo, which pictures the coaches Luis Enrique and Louis van Gaal sharing a word before the game.
They report that Barca 'leave with positive feelings' having struck the post three times through Luis Suarez, Sandro and Rafinha.
'Unlucky!' is Sport's headline who also draw the positives from Barcelona's display despite the loss
