Notorious superagent Jorge Mendes has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo would score 120 goals a season if he played for Barcelona.

Mendes, who represents some of the world's most famous players and managers including Cristiano Ronaldo, Falcao and Jose Mourinho was speaking as part of a dedication to the Real Madrid winger when he proffered the outlandish prediction.

Ronaldo was receiving the Portuguese sports personality of the year award at a gala in Lisbon when Mendes' comments featured as part of a montage where he claimed:

"If Ronaldo were to play for Barca, he would score 120 goals per season."

In a perceived slight at Ronaldo's arch rival Lionel Messi, Mendes' suggestion has not been received well by some of the Catalan press.

One of the world's best-known representatives, Mendes recently negotiated CR7's £85m, five-year contract extension.
