Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes is reportedly trying to ship the Juventus man to other clubs, but only Manchester City are interested, not PSG or Real Madrid.
Sky Sport Italia followed up the exclusive from L’Equipe that suggested Ronaldo was pushing hard for a Manchester City move.
Both sources claim CR7 communicated his intentions to players in both the Juve and City locker rooms.
Making it happen is another matter entirely, as Juve need either a €30m transfer fee to avoid making a loss or a player exchange for a similar figure.
Manchester City could go for Ronaldo if Tottenham Hotspur refuse to sell Harry Kane.
Bernardo Silva or Aymeric Laporte were mentioned as possible exchange deals by L’Equipe, but Sky Sport Italia counters that Juventus would prefer Gabriel Jesus instead.
There is also the PSG variable, although it’s reported that even if Kylian Mbappé did leave for Real Madrid after the initial €160m offer was rejected, then the Ligue 1 giants would go for Bayern Munich legend Robert Lewandowski or Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland rather than Ronaldo.

he`s cheap ….hopefully city want some headlines and social media numbers.
lol it wouldnt be a bad move for both or even all 3 parties… i think juve actually lose the most potential in merch. only thing is Man U fans will lose their minds lol.
If Ronaldo really wants to leave and goes to PSG .. exchange him with Keylor Navas + Cash ( sadly Donnarumma is lost cause ) and get Belotti (he’ll get better service at Juve than at Torino and score a lot .. and is very hard working team player) for now .. try Haaland next season …..
Roy that is some fine thinking, but would need to move Szczesny wages too.
The whole idea of a Welcome to Manchester billlboard for CR7 would be fantastic to see.
If we cannot get a fee/player for CR7, I would keep him. He still provides value so giving him away should not be an option. CR7 for Laporte actually sounds great to me though. Maybe Allegri can move us back to a 3 CB line with Alex Sandro and Cuadrado best suited to wingback roles.
when i think about i just wonder why would ronaldo want to join psg. he and messi are often rivals for the balon d or. it would be strange for him to go play with messi. pep love his tika -taka i would be very hard for ronaldo to conform to that. i mean sarri couldnt even get him to listen. my gut feeling is that he may end up staying. but stranger things as happen. i am sure the whole thing is unsettling for allegri.
@NVD Good Points! Juve needs to sort GK position. So many clubs were looking for GK at the start of the transfer window .. Szczesny should have been loaned …..
