Pauleta backs Ronaldo for PSG move

Former Paris Saint-Germain striker Pauleta says Cristiano Ronaldo should consider joining the French champions from Real Madrid.

Ronaldo admitted last week that he could not guarantee his long-term future at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, despite having insisted he is still happy with life at the club.

"PSG deserves to have a player of Cristiano Ronaldo's quality. It would be a good place for him to play for two or three seasons," he told Radio Marca.

Pauleta was overtaken by Zlatan Ibrahimovic as PSG's all-time top marksman at the start of October, while Ronaldo has surpassed his tally of 47 goals at international level.

The 42-year-old was unequivocal when choosing who he believes is the better player between Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, stating: "My preference is for Cristiano; he's my country's captain."
