Cristiano Ronaldo offered to Manchester City by his agent

Cristiano Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes, has reportedly offered the Juventus forward to Manchester City this summer.

The Portuguese forward has just 10 months left to run on his £25.5million-a-year contract in Italy and his future in Turin is far from certain, having been linked with moves to PSG, Real Madrid and former club Manchester United in the past.

Meanwhile, the Sky Blues are looking for a new star striker, with Spurs and England's Harry Kane their top target. 

Pep Guardiola's side are expected to make an improved offer on the £100m bid that was rejected earlier this summer, but Tottenham are playing hardball over their £150m price tag.

Ronaldo's representative Mendes has offered City an alternative option by declaring that the 36-year-old could turn out in the blue half of Manchester this season, Corriere Dello Sport reports.

The report says Juventus would be willing to sell the Portuguese ace for just £25m this summer given he has just one year left on his contract, with the Serie A giants also keen on cutting the Portuguese striker's hefty wages loose.

A potential Ronaldo move to City would be a hugely controversial transfer given the 36-year-old spent six successful seasons at the Premier League club's arch-rivals, Manchester United, scoring 118 goals in 292 games between 2003 and 2009. 

Ronaldo has always held a strong bond with the United fans, so a move to the Etihad Stadium would be seen as a betrayal. 

Spanish news programme El Chirinquito has revaled that Real Madrid are also looking at bringing Ronaldo back to the Santiago Bernabeu with Carlo Ancelotti calling for the man who scored 450 goals in nine seasons for Los Blancos to come back to Spain. 

The 36-year-old is preparing for the new Serie A season with Juventus after six-time Serie A champion Massimiliano Allegri returned to the club after two years away. 

Allegri also guided the Old Lady to two Champions League finals in his first spell at the club - in 2015 and 2017 - with Ronaldo failing to win the tournament he has won five times in his career in the past three seasons. 

City's priority signing in the striker role remains Kane, who is set to return for Spurs on Thursday for their UEFA Europa Conference League tie with Portuguese side Pacos de Ferreira.

The Sky Blues are yet to improve upon their £100m informal offer to Spurs earlier in the summer.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy values Kane at a minimum of £150m and will not entertain offers south of that.

As it stands, City are unwilling to match Tottenham’s valuation, though they do intend to make an improved offer before the window closes at the end of the month. 

City chiefs are ready to tell their Spurs counterparts that they are unlikely to renew their efforts to sign Kane next summer if they fail this month.
