Cristiano Ronaldo's claim that a transfer to Manchester City was "close" is wide of the mark, the club has reportedly told ESPN.

WHAT'S HAPPENING? In a now infamous interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV that has made a lot of noise, City have responded to one of the claims of the Portugal international. Ronaldo insisted that a move to the blue side of Manchester in the summer of 2021 was "close", however, the club itself has reportedly denied that was the case.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: ESPN reports that City have dismissed Ronaldo's claim as "false", insisting that his comments are "not reflective" of the club's interest during the summer window, which they describe as being "mild". City are the second club in quick succession to play down links to the forward, after Sporting's director Frederico Varandas insisted that his return has ''never been on the table''.


AND WHAT'S MORE: It's not just potential suitors that are looking to distance themselves from the 37-year-old. While his current employers Manchester United are reportedly looking into legal action against the player, the effect on the dressing room has been devastating too, with the United squad allegedly calling for him to go before the end of the World Cup.

CR7 should retire honourably with accolades even from FIFA. But he doesn't want to and ends up spoiling his ggood name in football.

Is what's happening to cr7 a sign of mental illness? What a way to end a solid career.

Pep also denied it happening months ago... So why lie?

Stupid OP go and research well

You don't sound intelligent. Research what? The club openly denied it to ESPN and the link is from goal.com so what should I be researching? Sounds like you're pissed the truth destroys your illusion and narrative.

Idiot that was a hack n slash story from goal. Idiot that is goal Nigeria written by hacks like you. But you are too stupid to understand that so what gives.

Anyways let me explain to you since you are an iliterate. Ronaldo has an agent whose job it is to negotiate such things.

Idiot so whatever his agent tells him is what he understands. Idiot like you who are ESO wretched can't understand this .

Because your life is so messed up you have no achievements to boast of so all that gets you through is tearing down others

You would likely die by suicide sha

Nobody wants this man, him jus de give himself hope n other clubs de respect am as big name bt him no wan respect himself
No club can bid n pay such huge fee for a 37yr old weak n frustrated player dt only cares about scoring
If he agrees maybe a 100k a week, some average team would get him n use him get more deals n followers for business sense
