A SPANISH newspaper has joked that Cristiano Ronaldo fancies a move to Barcelona.

The hilarious prank was part of Spain's equivalent of April Fool's Day, which is celebrated on December 28.

But for some fun, we've imagined how Barcelona might look if Ronaldo were to make what would be one of the most sensational moves of all time.

Xavi's side could have a whole new look to it with the Real Madrid 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.

He would star in the front line alongside Manchester United icon Ronaldo in our fictitious XI, with Ousmane Dembele completing the front three.

Barca already boast a strong midfield with Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong and youngster Gavi - so that remains the same.

But at the back, we've added two current Chelsea stars.

The Catalans are reportedly pondering a move for Blues pair Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen.

According to Sport, both Azpilicueta, 30, and Christensen, 25, are keen on a move to Barca, with the LaLiga giants also interested.

The defensive duo are both out of contract at the end of the season, and yet to renew their deals.

Unless they sign a contract extension, in January they are allowed to start negotiating a free transfer abroad.

Gerard Piquet and Jordi Alba would complete the backline in a side that would surely rocket up from their current seventh place in the table.
