According to Diario AS in Spain, Cristiano Ronaldo has reached an agreement with Manchester City, but Juventus have refused to include Raheem Sterling in a swap deal.
Juventus directors met Jorge Mendes this morning with the agent pushing for Ronaldo’s move to Manchester City.
The Old Lady is unwilling to let the 36-year-old leave on a free transfer and wants at least €25m to let Ronaldo move to the Etihad Stadium.
According to Diario AS in Spain, the Portuguese ace has already reached an agreement with City, with the Premier League champions offering a two-year, €15m-a-year deal.
Ronaldo to Manchester City: live updates and what we know so far
According to the same report, Manchester City are open to including Raheem Sterling in a swap deal with the Bianconeri, but Juventus want Gabriel Jesus instead.
The Brazilian striker is Juventus’ priority target to replace Ronaldo, but according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Old Lady’s shortlist includes the likes of Mauro Icardi. Luka Jovic and Moise Kean.
The agent of the latter, Mino Raiola, is currently in Turin to meet the Bianconeri.
The future of Sterling remains a matter of concern for Manchester City, given that the Premier League champions must sell him if they are to welcome Ronaldo.
A previous report from La Gazzetta dello Sport had claimed Barcelona is an option for the England winger.

Good please leave juventus, we don’t need you
Juve should take Sterling in a swop for Ronaldo much better option than either Icardi or Kean
They might as well get one of the tractors they offered Kean’s dad instead of the serial diver, Sterling. Sterling would get ruined in Serie A. Tap in merchant in Pep’s system. Massively overrated cheat. As with the English players, they melt in the mediterranean heat I think. He’d come, play a few games, say something like ‘it was like living in another country’, and then head home.
hmm not kean on sterling personally, his beef he rekindled against bonucci, and as a virtue singal of a misunderstanding of a quote during the euros left a bitter taste in the mouth. do you really want a troublemaking sjw on the books? but if we have to i guess we`ll have to he`ll be easier to move on than ronaldo at least. disgusting that city won`t give us the pocket change for him though
Bernardo Silva wants to leave and is a top quality player. Just send him and get this deal done. If CR7 wants to go, Citeh want him and Bernardo Silva wants out, just get it done….
DON’T NEED SWAP DEAL
JUST GET OUT ALREADY FROM JUVE
Hilarious how Ronaldo made it clear he would never consider going to a City because he would forever have ManU in his heart…
Goes to show how he sees his priorities. He thinks about himself first and foremost. Juve have learnt that lesson to the detriment of their entire team. City are about to find out if they pick him up.
Sterling is very easy to dislike. Mouthy little ____, and always has been. He’s lively in the right system, but an overrated player and I agree that he could easily flop in Italy. I doubt he would want to leave England or ‘The Prem’ – he’s just that type.
Jesus or Bernardo would be good. Ronaldo in his general play was really bad last season, and he’s only going one way – basically not worth the enormous expense. If they can get a very talented player in exchange then it’s an excellent move, even if Ronaldo would’ve been worth another 20 goals this season. Get rid of his salary and all sorts can be done.
