Cristiano Ronaldo could be on his way back to Manchester United, with the club's shirt sponsor Chevrolet reportedly willing to help finance a move.
Ronaldo spent six highly successful years at Old Trafford, scoring 118 times in 292 appearances and winning three Premier League titles, three domestic cups and the Champions League plus the first of his now five Ballon d'Ors.
Despite turning 36 next February, the former Real Madrid forward has scored 10 goals in nine games for Juventus this season and still appears to be at the top of his game.
Reports suggest the Italian champions are thinking about selling Ronaldo due to the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
If he were sold, Andrea Pirlo's side would get his hefty £28million per season wage off their books and try to regain the majority of the £100m fee they paid Real Madrid in July 2018.
And Ronaldo's former employers could be handed a financial windfall if they decide to pursue him.
Auto Esporte claim Chevrolet - Manchester United's shirt sponsor since 2014 - believe bringing the Portuguese back would be a shrewd business move.
The American car company has noticed with interest the positive effect Ronaldo has had on Juventus' shirt sponsor and Chevrolet competitor, Jeep.
Juventus' shares also climbed 30 per cent on the Milan stock exchange a week after his headline-grabbing transfer to Turin.
With Ronaldo still in sparkling domestic and international form, he would come at an extremely high cost.
According to business magazine Forbes, he is the first footballer and only the third sportsman ever to earn $1billion during his glittering career, and United would need to satisfy his and Juventus' expectations.
However, Sportsmail reported on Saturday that Ed Woodward would back manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the transfer market.
