Portuguese sensation Cristiano Ronaldo looks to stay put in Juventus for this season, which is likely to be his final season, as his contract runs out at the season end. Furthermore, the Old Lady is reportedly not interested in extending his contract due to budget constraints.
On the same note, his super-agent Jorge Mendes has reportedly landed in Turin to discuss the Portuguese’s future with the Boanconeri. As per Goal Italy and Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, English champion Manchester City has a contract in place for Ronaldo that runs through 2023.
Meanwhile, according to Sky Sport Italy, City’s offer happens to be around €15 million per season. Moreover, the report adds that Juventus could demand €30 million if Ronaldo decides to leave now, besides also considering the possibility of accepting Gabriel Jesus in a swap deal.

However, fellow Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari has confirmed that there is still no offer on the table for Ronnie. “Jorge #Mendes just landed in Turin. Scheduled a meeting with #Juventus to discuss about #Cristiano future, according to @Gazzetta_it. Still no offer on the table for #CR7 at the moment,” he tweeted.
While it still sounds surreal that Ronaldo would put his Manchester United legacy on the line to join its neighbouring rival City, reports coming in suggest otherwise. Although any move for Ronaldo in this transfer window seems unlikely, with just five days to go before the window closes, it would certainly be exciting to see if City manages to rope in the Portuguese or United pounces on its talisman.
City is in a desperate hunt for a striker post club legend Sergio Aguero’s departure. While it was pursuing English international Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur, he ended the speculation by confirming that he is staying put in London.
