With Zlatan Ibrahimovic's contract expiring with Paris Saint-Germain expiring after this season, the club will surely pursue Cristiano Ronaldo.

PSG directors are more optimistic than pessimistic that they will have an opportunity to acquire Ronaldo. The club is very close to Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes, who will have a great deal of influence on the decision.

PSG also has a strong working relationship with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

Ronaldo plays against PSG for the first time in his career on Wednesday in the Champions League.
