Cristiano Ronaldo transfer news: Juventus star tipped to leave for Manchester City before transfer window closes

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly told Juventus he wants to leave the club before the summer transfer window ends on August 31. His agent Jorge Mendes was in talks with club officials to engineer a move out of the Turin club.

Even as Juventus are gearing up for their second match of the Serie A season against Empoli in Turin, speculation around Cristiano Ronaldo's club future has dominated global headlines. Things have dramatically changed from the situation last week wherein returning coach Massimiliano Allegri said that Cristiano Ronaldo promised to stay in Turin and lead their campaign in Serie A. Media reports in Italy have claimed that Ronaldo is looking for a move away from Juventus and has told the club that he wants to leave before the summer transfer window closes on August 31.
