Manchester City are ready to offer Cristiano Ronaldo between €14m-15m a year in wages to join them from Juventus, according to Italian transfer expert, Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Premier League champions want to sign Ronaldo on a two-year deal.
The 36-year-old is into the last 11 months of his current contract with Juve and wants to leave Serie A.
City are now keen on the former Manchester United forward, after Harry Kane announced he is staying at Tottenham Hotspur this season.
Pep Guardiola needs a striker in his squad following the departure of Sergio Aguero to Barcelona.
City have until the transfer deadline on Tuesday to secure a striker.
Ferran Torres, predominantly a winger, started as the central striker against Norwich on Saturday, with Gabriel Jesus deployed as a right winger.
Jesus is the only recognised senior striker at the club, while academy forward Liam Delap, 18, is set to stay rather than leaving on loan.
