on Wednesday with an arm injury and will be assessed ahead of their game against Empoli on Saturday.

The 36-year-old took a blow to his right arm after a challenge from Alex Sandro and was accompanied off the pitch by members of Juve’s medical team.

On Sunday, Ronaldo was a surprise omission from the starting line-up for Juve’s Serie A opener at Udinese but boss Max Allegri insisted the decision was purely tactical, and was not the player’s choice.
Ronaldo came off the bench to score a last-minute winner only for it to be disallowed by VAR for a marginal offside, as the game finished 2-2.

Juventus expect Ronaldo to stay at the club despite him being open to leaving this summer.
His current contract at the Allianz Stadium runs until June 2022 and he is earning €31m per year after tax.

However, no club has made an offer for him and he has not officially told Juventus he wants to leave.

Football transfer rumours: Cristiano Ronaldo to land at Manchester City?

While their negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur over a deal to bring Harry Kane to Manchester City remain at an impasse, City are exploring the possibility of signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus.

L’Equipe report that the five-times Ballon d’Or winner is eager to leave the Italian champions and say that, while City are prepared to cover his £26m annual salary, their largesse doesn’t extend to paying Juve much in the way of a fee for his services. Ronaldo is apparently keen on a move away from Turin and City could send Bernardo Silva and Aymeric Laporte the other way as part of a swap deal.

Having failed to make any signings last summer for the first time since 1980, Real Madrid hope to make up for it this time around by bringing Kylian Mbappé to the Bernabéu. Despite being in financial meltdown with net debts of more than £300m, the Spanish club confirmed they have made an opening bid of £137m to Paris Saint-Germain for the 22-year-old striker with less than a year left on his contract. PSG have greeted the offer with a Gallic shrug and are believed to be holding out for considerably more from the Spanish paupers.

With both Chelsea and Manchester United plotting late loan moves for Atlético Madrid midfielder Saúl Ñíguez, the Spanish champions have identified PSG midfielder Pablo Sarabia as a replacement. Kieran Trippier is another player who could be headed for the Atléti exit and while Arsenal’s interest in his services has been well documented, the England right-back is believed to be hankering for a move to Manchester United. Or anywhere else but Arsenal.

With their first choice transfer target Jesse Lingard looking increasingly likely to stay at Manchester United, West Ham are looking at alternative options and are mulling over the possibility of signing CSKA Moscow’s Croatian winger Nikola Vlasic instead. In need of back-up for striker Michail Antonio, David Moyes has also been giving Montpelier striker Gaetan Laborde the glad eye, while Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma is another potential Iron in the West Ham fire.

Tottenham Hotspur have held “informal talks” with Lyon, with a view to signing central midfielder Houssem Aouar, according to Sky Sports, but may have to duke it out with Arsenal in the battle to secure his scrawl. Should Aouar opt to go to the Emirates, he could have his pick of dressing-room pegs, what with – deep breath – Willian, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Eddie Nketiah, Hector Bellerin, Lucas Torreira, Reiss Nelson and Sead Kolasinac all being nudged towards the door marked “Do One”.

What Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo has said about joining Manchester City

Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly trying to ‘engineer’ a move to Manchester City before the transfer window closes.

The Portugal captain is unhappy in Turin and his agent, Jorge Mendes, has been tasked with finding him a new club before the window shuts in six days’ time.

Paris Saint-Germain were said to be interested in signing Ronaldo given Real Madrid’s interest in Kylian Mbappe but the Ligue 1 giants are focused on keeping the Frenchman and it’s unlikely they could afford Ronaldo’s wages following the acquisition of Lionel Messi.

That gives City a free run at Ronaldo and though Pep Guardiola would rather sign Spurs ace Harry Kane, the former United man would represent a short-term solution until the England skipper or Erling Haaland were more attainable.
News that Ronaldo is reportedly keen on a move to the Etihad has understandably irked United supporters, who adored the 36-year-old during his six-year stay at Old Trafford.
But should Ronaldo get his supposed wish of joining the blue half of Manchester, it would represent a complete u-turn from comments that the forward made six years ago during his time at Real Madrid.

Asked by the BBC whether he’d consider a move to the riches of City, Ronaldo said: ‘You think the money is going to change my mind now?

‘I don’t think so. I think it is not going to be the problem, because if you will speak about the money, I will go to Qatar.

‘[They] maybe have more money than Manchester City, but it’s not about the money. It’s about the passion.’
