Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't look likely to leave Manchester United in a hurry, with agent Jorge Mendes playing down suggestions the Portuguese forward is looking for a move.
However, with the veteran signing a two-year deal at Old Trafford in 2021, questions are still being asked over his next destination, with plenty of potential suitors likely to be interested if he moves on at the end of his current deal.
Ronaldo's goals have helped United keep up a top-four challenge and move into the last 16 of the Champions League, hitting double figures in November and adding to his tally in the weeks since, but it hasn't all been smooth sailing for the veteran.
While rumours continue apace, fans of Brazilian club Flamengo have begun to get excited about the prospect of the multiple Ballon d'Or winner moving to Rio de Janeiro after vice-president Marcos Braz was spotted with the footballer's mother.

Braz travelled to Madeira for discussions with Paulo Sousa, who will take over as Flamengo's manager for the 2022 season after leaving his post as Poland manager.
While the vice-president was on the island, where Ronaldo was born and grew up, he met the player's mother Dolores Aveiro at a restaurant in the village of Porto Moniz.
Braz joked on Twitter that any move to sign Ronaldo would require the blessing of Aveiro, saying "Conviction always starts with the family. World number 1 mother, CR7."
Aveiro herself had earlier shared the same photo on Instagram, teasing a transfer move with her caption.
"The world is small; I have a few days to analyse your proposal if I go or not.... Welcome to Madeira," she wrote.
A number of Flamengo fans replied to the Instagram post, suggesting it was a sign the former Real Madrid player might end his career with the club, though some may have been more tongue in cheek than others.
Flamengo finished last season second in Brazil's top flight and suffered a 2-1 extra-time defeat in the final of the Copa Libertadores against Palmeiras.
Manchester United loanee Andreas Pereira is one of a number of current and former Premier League players in their squad, along with Kenedy, Filipe Luis, David Luiz and Mauricio Isla.
New manager Sousa is a former Portugal international midfielder, who played for his country at two European Championships and was in the squad for the 2002 World Cup.
The 51-year-old, who also played for Ronaldo's former clubs Sporting CP and Juventus, spent time in England at the start of his managerial career and was in charge of Poland's national side as they suffered a group stage elimination at this summer's Euros.
