PSG or Manchester City for Ronaldo, Mendes under pressure

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester City is the only possible destination for Cristiano Ronaldo, but reports in France suggest the Juventus striker can still join PSG.

Ronaldo sees his contract expire in June 2022, but he hopes to leave Juventus before the expiration of his deal with the Bianconeri.

Jorge Mendes has been offering the Portuguese star to the best clubs around Europe without finding suitors willing to pay his €31m-a-year salary.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, the super-agent is now ‘under pressure’ as Ronaldo wants to leave Juventus, but his representative hasn’t yet found a new club for the striker and is running out of time.

With just one week remaining before the end of the summer transfer window, Ronaldo has few options left.

As per La Gazzetta dello Sport, PSG are not in the race to sign Ronaldo after welcoming Leo Messi, so PSG is the only possible destination for the 36-year-old.

However, Il Corriere dello Sport, Tuttosport and RMC in France insist Ronaldo can still join PSG in the last week of the summer transfer window, provided Kylian Mbappé joins Real Madrid.

The France star has reportedly informed PSG that he doesn’t want to sign a contract extension and is ready to move to Madrid as a free agent in one year.

Ronaldo is looking for an escape route from the Allianz Stadium and started Juventus’ Serie A opener against Udinese on the bench.

However, according to Sky Sport Italia, Ronaldo has not informed Juventus that he wants to leave and the Old Lady hasn’t received any formal bid for the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star.
