Ronaldo not interested in City
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo has been linked with several clubs including Manchester City this summer, but old comments about joining the Citizens have now emerged.
Following the rumour linking him with the Premier League club, the Portuguese’ past comments clearly imply such will not materialise.
Manchester City continue to search for a formidable replacement for Sergio Aguero who has departed for Barcelona and Ronaldo is being linked with an exit from Juventus.
