According to The Times, Cristiano Ronaldo is still hopeful of joining Manchester City this summer despite Pep Guardiola’s side rejecting a deal for the Portuguese.
Manchester City were unable to secure the services of Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, who has announced that he will remain with the club this season.
Pep Guardiola is on the lookout for a striker after Sergio Aguero joined Barcelona on a free transfer this summer.
After securing a £100 million deal for Jack Grealish, City had made the England captain their first choice.
According to multiple Italian reports, Ronaldo, on the other hand, is eager to leave Juventus before the deadline and is pushing for a return to the Premier League with Manchester City.
