According to Sky Sports, Manchester United is open to hearing proposals for Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.
The 37-year-old is not for sale, according to United's stated public position.
Ronaldo, though, has missed four straight days of preseason practise, citing "family circumstances."
The Red Devils will reluctantly allow him to leave since they now perceive the circumstance as a distraction.
According to UOLEsporte writer Bruno Andrade, United are seeking to begin talks with any team that is interested for a fee of about €15 million (or £13 million).
It's interesting to note that for the sale of Ronaldo from the Italian club, United paid Juventus this money as a guaranteed transfer price last summer.
