According to matching Italian media reports, Cristiano Ronaldo is about to move from Juventus Turin to Manchester City. Only an agreement between the two clubs is still pending. According to this, Italy's record football champions expect an offer for the 36-year-old offensive player. The Italians are demanding a transfer fee of around 25 million euros. Ronaldo moved from Real Madrid to Serie A in 2018 for more than 100 million euros.
According to the reports, Ronaldo is said to have already told Juve that he wanted to move. His advisor Jorge Mendes met with club representatives on Thursday. Both Juve and City should be interested in making the move perfect as soon as possible. The Italians are already trying to find a replacement for the offensive star. Possible candidates are Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City), Moise Kean (Everton) and the Argentine Mauro Icardi (PSG).
Real Madrid improve at Mbappe
According to media reports, the French football club Paris Saint-Germain has accepted Real Madrid's improved offer for Kylian Mbappe. According to the French newspaper “L'Equipe”, PSG are now ready to negotiate the transfer of the striker. The change of the French world champion should therefore be imminent.
The British broadcaster “Sky Sports” and other media reported on Thursday without mentioning sources that Real should have increased its offer to 170 million euros. However, there is also speculation that 180 million euros including bonuses were offered. PSG rejected a first offer from Madrid in the amount of 160 million euros on Wednesday. There was initially no comment from Real or Paris on the reports.
The 22-year-old striker has so far refused to extend the contract with the Ligue 1 runners-up, which expires on June 30, 2022. According to media reports, he wants to fulfill his childhood dream and switch to Real, the team of ÖFB star player David Alaba.
Mbappe could change for free next summer. The fact that Real Madrid would like to bring him a year earlier could still make sense not only from a sporting point of view, but also financially. Because according to Spanish media reports, the Frenchman would want to collect cash of up to 100 million euros in the next year for not costing the Madrilenians a cent. In addition, Real is currently well positioned economically because of the sales of Raphael Varane (Manchester United) and Martin Ödegaard (Arsenal).
