OGS was trying to play straight bat re Ronaldo. "Don’t want to speculate too much. CR legend of this club, greatest player of all time. I played with him. He almost retired me. Let’s see what happens." He kind of changed it with last answer.

— Simon Stone (@sistoney67) August 27, 2021

Guardiola: "All I can say in this 3-4 days left of window everything can happen… In that position I would say right now I am more than delighted with the squad we have and we will stay the same." "Cristiano will decide where he wants to play. Right now looks far far away."

Manchester United manager Solskjaer again on Cristiano Ronaldo: “Cristiano is a legend of this club, the the greatest player of all time if you ask me. I was fortunate enough to play with him. I coached him when I got my job. Let's see what happens”. 🔴🇵🇹 #MUFC

As told yesterday, Ronaldo will be taking a paycut to join Man City. He was earning around €31m at Juventus and he will earn around €20m per year at Man City in a 2 years contract. Confirmed by @NicoSchira. #ManCity https://t.co/US8x0inAT0

— Deepak Selvan (@imDeepakSelvan) August 27, 2021

Told Ronaldo to City is now 'gathering a lot of pace'. Sir Alex Ferguson was accused of 'kidnapping' Berbatov when he flew into Manchester on deadline day in 2008. Fergie might see this Ronaldo movement as genuine cause for action!

— Samuel Luckhurst (@samuelluckhurst) August 27, 2021

Cristiano Ronaldo has left Juventus training center after 40 minutes to say goodbye to his teammates. He only wants to leave the club in the next hours. 🇵🇹🚫 #Ronaldo

NO training today. Ronaldo is waiting for Mendes to bring the official bid as it’s still verbal with Man City.

Cristiano left Continassa. He'll not train with Juventus today. [@DiMarzio] #juvelive

La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Ronaldo is not yet a Manchester City player, but only 1 step is missing for the closure of the operation. An important step but ONLY 1: City's offer for the most famous 7 ever. What has already been done is largely the work of Jorge Mendes." #ManCity

— Deepak Selvan (@imDeepakSelvan) August 27, 2021

(☀️) Conference call is underway between Jorge Mendes and #ManCity , In order to have the green light on the offer to be presented to Juventus, at least €25M. There's total agreement between CR7 and ManCity. 🚨🔷 #MCFC #JUV

Manchester City are also working on the outgoings to proceed with official bid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus. Raheem Sterling could leave Man City if right bid arrives. 🔵🇵🇹 #MCFC

Cristiano Ronaldo he wants to leave. Gabriel Jesus will stay – as Pep wants to keep him.

Juventus open to selling Ronaldo for as low as £20m. Man City & Mendes are in advanced negotiations for Cristiano.

Juventus are still waiting for Man City decision about €28/30m fee.

— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 26, 2021

If Ronaldo joins City, he is coming to win trophies and will be taking a paycut to join #ManCity. Make of this what you will but once again it's the idea of playing for Pep Guardiola and dominating the scene in the twilight of his career that has CR7's head turned. [1/2]

During talks this week, Jorge Mendes proposed that #ManCity sign Cristiano Ronaldo instead of Harry Kane, but that was 'dismissed' as @ManCity are 'determined' to sign Kane and will try until the end of the window to close a deal.
