Paris Saint Germain are interested in bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho, according to the club's chief Sheikh Bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani.

Ronaldo and Mourinho are reported to be unsettled at Real Madrid, as rumors continue to circulate regarding their futures.

Only a few clubs in the world can afford a transfer fee for Ronaldo, and one of them is PSG, with the club now admitting they would be looking to make a move for the Portuguese superstar.

"Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho are objectives for Paris Saint-Germain, of course," Al-Thani, the right-hand man of owner Sheikh Nasser El Khelaifi, told Canal Football.

"PSG are one of the best clubs in the world. Ever since day one, our goal has been to win the Champions League.

"We are already one of the best teams in France, and it's our goal to become one of the best in Europe and the world, too."

PSG had earlier denied being interested in Ronaldo, when reports of the French club making a bid in excess of £100 million ($162 million) surfaced.

However, the situation surrounding the future of Ronaldo remains up in the air, after the 27-year-old admitted earlier in the season to being "sad" at Real.

Ronaldo reportedly wants a new contract which will take him on par with some of the highest earners in the world, including PSG forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and has also been disillusioned by the perceived lack of support within the club.

Another big name, who is expected to leave Real at the end of the season is Jose Mourinho, with reports from Spain suggesting this would be the enigmatic manager's final season.

Mourinho has failed to inspire Real in the league this season, while there have been murmurs of player unrest as well.

Real are already 13 points behind Barcelona in the La Liga, and Mourinho admitted it was "impossible" to now defend the title they won last year.

The Portuguese manager has been linked with the top job at Manchester United and Manchester City while a return to Chelsea has also not been ruled out.

Recent reports indicated Real Madrid would be open to a swap deal with PSG, with Mourinho making a move to Paris and current PSG manager Carlo Ancelotti joining the Spanish giants.
