It's no secret that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Juventus.

The Portuguese superstar asked to be put on the bench for their season opener against Udinese last weekend while he searches for a move away.

There has been intense speculation of a potential move to Manchester City in the past few days.

A move to The Citizens would, of course, be highly controversial.

Ronaldo is a club legend at Manchester United having spent six successful seasons there from 2003-2009.

Fans of the Red Devils will no doubt be unimpressed should he complete a move to City.

But Ronaldo has taken a big step to becoming a City player on Thursday afternoon.

The Old Lady are willing to let the superstar leave as they want him off the wage. But they are don't want to let him go for nothing and are demanding €25m for his services.

City, however, are thought to be unwilling to part with a fee for the 36-year-old.

Instead, they have offered to swap Raheem Sterling in exchange for Ronaldo.

Juventus aren't overwhelmed at the prospect at signing Sterling. They need a centre-forward and want Gabriel Jesus in return.
