Mendes is understood to have held a meeting with Barca president Joan Laporta on Monday. According to AS, Ronaldo was one of four of Mendes' clients to be discussed.
As well as Ruben Neves, Rafa Leao and Bernardo Silva, the report claims a possible move for Ronaldo, which Barca are said to have explored a year ago, was also on the table.
Barca have been strongly linked with a move for Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski, who is desperate to leave the Bundesliga giants this summer. Ronaldo could prove to be a suitable alternative should Bayern continue to block the transfer.
How Barca, whose continuing financial woes appear to be forcing Frenkie de Jong out of the door, can afford Ronaldo's gargantuan wage packet remains to be seen.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, didn't train with his United teammates on Monday. Despite being scheduled to return with the rest of United's internationals, the 37-year-old informed the club he would not be present due to family reasons, an explanation the club accepted.
