There have been doubts over the 36-year-old’s future at Juventus, with the Portuguese star reported to have asked to begin last weekend’s season opener at Udinese on the bench.

The French outlet reports that Ronaldo is trying to create the right circumstances for a move, including a swap deal involving Portugal team-mate Bernardo Silva or defender Aymeric Laporte.
L’Equipe adds that a deal could be struck as soon as this weekend, in what would be a shock move as Ronaldo was a former player of Manchester United.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward is desparate to add to his five Ballons d’Or and believes Pep Guardiola’s side would give him the best chance of doing so.
Ronaldo is understood to have spoken to a number of City stars whom he shares a national team dressing room with, including Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias and Joao Cancelo.
He is convinced the move can happen, but much depends on the ability of his agent, Jorge Mendes, to broker the transfer.
