Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Juventus training after saying goodbye to team-mates amid Man City transfer talk

Manchester City are in talks to sign Cristiano Ronaldo after his agent Jorge Mendes told Juventus he no longer wants to play for the club.

The Portugal captain spent an hour and a half at Juve’s Continassa training ground on Friday morning to empty his locker and say goodbye to team-mates.

Cristiano Ronaldo has said his goodbyes to his Juventus team-mates and will miss training on Friday as he nears an exit from the club.

The 36-year-old spent an hour and a half at Juve’s Continassa training ground on Friday morning to empty his locker and bid farewell to the squad before they took to the pitch for a training session.

Manchester City are in talks to sign the 36-year-old after Sky in Italy reported his agent Jorge Mendes told Juventus on Thursday night he no longer wants to play for the club.

Ronaldo is in the final year of his contract in Turin and the Italian giants are asking any suitor to pay a €25m (£21.3m) transfer fee.

He was not in City’s plans this summer but he is an option they are considering after the Premier League champions missed out on signing England captain Harry Kane from Tottenham.
