Cristiano Ronaldo ‘Pushing For A Move To Manchester City With Potential Swap Deal’

Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly pushing for a move to Manchester City as Juventus superstar eyes the exit door before the window slams shut at the end of the month.

Ronaldo has one year remaining on his deal in Turin and the Italians are understood to be willing to let their talisman go for £25million amid links to Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

Doubts have surrounded the 36-year-old’s future at Juventus, with the Portuguese star reported to have asked to begin last weekend’s season opener at Udinese on the bench.

According to L’Equipe, Ronaldo is currently pushing for a move to the Premier League, with the Portuguese attempting to engineer a switch to Pep Guardiola’s side this month.

The French outlet reports that Ronaldo is trying to create the right circumstances for a move, including a swap deal involving Portugal team-mate Bernardo Silva or defender Aymeric Laporte.

L’Equipe add that a deal could be struck as soon as this weekend, in what would be a seismic move given Ronaldo’s close connection with fans of Manchester United.
