Premier League champions Manchester City have reportedly offered Cristiano Ronaldo a two-year contract worth £230,000-a-weel after missing out on a deal for Harry Kane this summer.
City chased Kane throughout the window but the £150million-rated forward revealed on Wednesday that he is ‘100 per cent’ remaining at Spurs for the coming season.
Missing out on Kane means City have limited options in the centre-forward position after Sergio Aguero’s departure on a free transfer.
Gabriel Jesus is the only recognised forward but has been used out wide, while Ferran Torres and Liam Delap remain options.
And according to Gianlucadimarzio.com, City are willing to offer Ronaldo a two-year deal worth over £230,000-a-week but do not want to pay Juventus a transfer fee for the Portuguese icon.
The report says the Old Lady want around £25million for the player which would allow them to find a replacement so late in the window.
Juventus reportedly like the idea of taking on City’s Brazilian striker Jesus in a swap, but Guardiola is said to have rebuffed that idea.
Reports across Europe claim Ronaldo, 36, is looking for a new challenge and his agent Jorge Mendes offered him to City last week for £25m.
Ronaldo was left on the bench of Juventus’ last Serie A game away at Udinese, raising speculation about his future, but the Portuguese forward did come off the bench in that match and scored a winner, only for it to be chalked off by VAR.
Paris Saint-Germain remain interested in Ronaldo as well with the French giants struggling to keep Kylian Mbappe, who was the subject of a £137million bid from Real Madrid this week.
