CRISTIANO RONALDO could complete a shock transfer to Barcelona in January after 'offering himself' to the Catalans.
And boss Xavi's side could have a whole new look to it with the Portuguese icon leading the line alongside new signing Ferran Torres.
Torres sealed a return to Spain by joining from Manchester City for £55million on Tuesday.
A deal – which includes an amazing ONE BILLION EURO (£842m) buyout clause – was agreed between the two clubs last week.
He underwent a medical at the Nou Camp and signed a five-year deal soon afterwards.
And the forward could soon be lining up alongside Manchester United icon Ronaldo.
The Portuguese superstar is said to have contacted Barca centre-back Gerard Pique and asked him to speak to Nou Camp boss Xavi about a move.
His agent Jorge Mendes is also already negotiating terms with Barca president Joan Laporta, according to Mundo Deportivo.
