Cristiano Ronaldo, a Manchester United forward, could join a Champions League club when the transfer window reopens in January.
In the summer, the 37-year-old attempted and failed to force a move away from the Red Devils.
Ronaldo has played in the Europa League for the first time in his senior career.
Ronaldo is rarely used by United manager Erik ten Hag in the Premier League and may try to move again during the winter transfer window.
UEFA rules would allow the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to sign for a team in the Champions League in January and play in the knockout rounds in the new year.
This is despite Ronaldo having made three appearances for United in the Europa League this season.
