Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered to the club this summer as he looks for a move away from Juventus.
The Juventus superstar’s future has been the subject of intense scrutiny for many months as he has entered the final 12 months of his contract in Turin.
The £40.5m-valued Portuguese is keen to leave Juventus in this transfer window and an extraordinary report is now claiming that he is offering himself to Manchester City.
City are in the market for a new striker this summer with their priority remaining Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane but the club are prepared to walkaway from the deal if Spurs do not lower their asking price.
According to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, Ronaldo’s representative Mendes has offered City an alternative option by declaring that the 36-year-old could turn out in the blue half of Manchester this season.
The report continues that the move is only likely to happen if City fail to sign striker Harry Kane from Tottenham.
The report says Juventus would be willing to sell Ronaldo for just £25m this summer given he has just one year left on his contract, with the Serie A giants also keen on cutting the Portuguese striker’s hefty wages loose.
Nevertheless, a likely stumbling block is Ronaldo’s association with Manchester United, a club which he represented between 2003 and 2009.
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters, who took to the social media platform to share their thoughts and opinions.

I would take him over Kane and take Haaland next year. Anything over 120 for Kane is bonkers.

As much as I call him Penaldo, he is exactly what we need. Someone to just stay in the box and be at the end of crosses. His movements are probably amongst the greatest ever. The only concern would be his pressing.
