Manchester United are now in advanced talks with Cristiano Ronaldo over a £24 million (€28m/$33m) transfer from Juventus after Manchester City ended their interest in the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes offered the former Red Devils forward to City after they missed out top target Harry Kane, who decided to stay at Tottenham.
City decided against pursuing a move for the 36-year-old, and Goal understands United have made an official bid to Juventus of £24m to bring Ronaldo back to Old Trafford.
