Is Cristiano Ronaldo Close To A Machester City Deal?

Could Cristiano Ronaldo really be headed to Manchester City?

On Thursday morning, a report from Portuguese journalist Goncalo Lopes claimed that Juventus and Manchester City were in agreement on a deal for Ronaldo.

Juventus aceitou saída de Ronaldo, mas pediu a Jorge Mendes para que o Manchester City apresente uma proposta oficial. Agora as coisas estão do lado dos citizens

The reported Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester City deal has been refuted by other reputable soccer journalists.

Juventus have still no intention to let Cristiano Ronaldo leave on a free transfer, as Manchester City and Jorge Mendes want. This is what Juventus board told Mendes again today. 🇵🇹⚪️ #Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo began his illustrious career as a member of Manchester City’s bitter rival, Man United. And has even said in the past that he would not look to joining Man City in the future.

But as we know, things change and money can often talk more than anything.

It might not happen anytime soon, but it appears that Manchester City is in full pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo.
