Former Manchester United star Ronaldo has been linked with the side’s rivals Manchester City this summer and old comments the star made about City have now emerged
Cristiano Ronaldo’s past comments on Manchester City makes it seem the surprise transfer links won’t lead to anything.
City are looking for a big name striker this summer after Sergio Aguero left the club for Barcelona and it is thought Ronaldo is leaving current side Juventus.
The Italian club are understood to not be able to afford the football legend’s wages due to the financial hit they’ve taken during the pandemic.
Other rumours had suggested the star was headed back to former club Manchester United but it’s now been widely reported that he could sign for their rivals.
Ronaldo first spoke about City rumours all the way back in 2013 where he was far from keen to join the club.
He said: “To play for City not United? I’m not going to do that. Why? Because my heart’s in Manchester United, that’s why.
“I can say it would be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very difficult to play at Manchester City. Very difficult because of Manchester United.”
Ronaldo isn’t the only target on City’s radar this summer as they are also looking at Borussia Dormund’s Erling Haaland and Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane.
