Manchester City have denied talks with Cristiano Ronaldo about a summer 2021 move.
In an interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo stated that a move to Manchester United’s rivals was “close.”
However, after leaving Juventus, the 37-year-old returned to United for a second spell.
Ronaldo revealed that legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson prevented him from joining City.
However, according to ESPN, City sources claim Ronaldo’s comments are “not reflective” of their “mild” interest at the time.
Pep Guardiola signed Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund this summer after failing to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur.
