Third-tier German club Fortuna Koln may have trouble winning the race to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, despite making the superstar a thirst-quenching offer.

Ronaldo is rumoured to be seeking a move away from Real Madrid due to his unhappiness over scrutiny of his tax situation in Spain.
Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked to the 32-year-old, while Bayern Munich on Monday dismissed media claims they are considering a bid as the "hoax of the day".
Given it lacks the financial resources of Europe's heavyweight clubs, Fortuna opted for a different approach in its cheeky pitch to lure Ronaldo to Sudstadion.
The club posted on Twitter: "Hey @Cristiano, we're still looking for a striker — we don't have money, but we can offer you free Kolsch for life."

Given Ronaldo's famous dedication to his enviable physique, it seems unlikely — to say the least — that the Portugal superstar will be swayed by the prospect of a bottomless stein to swap LaLiga for a side that finished 16th in 3. Liga last term.
