Cristiano Ronaldo is close to joining Manchester United as Manchester City has decided against signing the Portuguese. Earlier, it was widely speculated that the star footballer is close to joining the Pep Guardiola’s team.
But now, things have completely changed as the The Red Devils are preparing their official contract proposal for their former star boy.
CR7 agent had contacted both the Manchester clubs but it seems he is coming back to the Old Trafford. Manchester United boss Ole Solskjaer made it clear earlier today that “we are here.”
“We’ve always had a good communication. Bruno has been talking to him as well and he knows what we feel about him. If he was ever going to move away from Juventus, he knows WE ARE HERE”.
The United board is talking about figures of the deal, potential salary & also fee for Juventus, according to Fabrizio Romano.
