Fabrizio Romano offers definitive update on Cristiano Ronaldo to Man City rumours

In what was initially expected to be a quiet window given the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic, transfers across Europe have steadily gathered pace

The news that Cristiano Ronaldo apparently wants out of Juventus doesn’t really come as too much of a surprise, however, a perceived willingness to join Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side has come out of the left field.

Fabrizio Romano provided a definitive update on the rumors on Friday morning.

According to a tweet posted a reliable journalist, the Portuguese have told his Juve teammates that he does indeed want to go.

He makes a further point that Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, will be in direct contact with Manchester City later on Friday.

If the numbers are right, and despite the player’s allegiance to Man Utd., it’s a stunning deal that looks like it could get over the line.

Cristiano Ronaldo also informed his Juventus teammates that he wants to leave. Jorge Mendes will be in direct contact with Man City today to discuss Ronaldo’s salary – it won’t be €31m net per season as current one 🇵🇹 #MCFC

Juventus are waiting for Manchester City official bid.
