BAYERN MUNICH have ruled out the possibility of a sensational move for Cristiano Ronaldo because he’s too old.
Reports in Germany had linked the Portuguese superstar with a switch to the Bundesliga champions during the January transfer window but unsurprisingly nothing came of it.

It is no secret Bayern are in the market for a new forward after long-serving aces Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben both left last summer.
Leroy Sane remains right at the top of their wishlist but his serious knee injury means Bayern have been forced to wait on his arrival.
But there was just one name the fans wanted to hear more about when club president Herbert Hainer attended a fan event.
When asked on the possibility of landing Ronaldo, PNP reports he responded: “Of course there are many names in the press, which is understandable.
“But Ronaldo should be a bit too old for us.”
Ronaldo celebrated turning 35 last week and was treated to a brand new £93,000 Mercedes-Benz G-Class by girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez.
It was a complete with a huge red bow – a nod to his days at Manchester United? – and friends sang for him as the heartwarming moment was filmed.
Georgina wrote alongside the video posted to her 16 million followers: “Congratulations to the man of my life! What do you want to transport our love in? Your gift @cristiano #happybirthday.”

Ronaldo later put up a glimpse of his celebrations as he posed alongside a CR7 birthday cake.
He gave two thumbs up as son Cristiano Jr, nine, and Georgina, 26, sat next to him.
Ronaldo, who posted this training clip showing how fit and agile he still is, wrote: “It’s time to celebrate my birthday. Thanks my love for this amazing surprise.”
