Manchester City’s players are confident that the club are set to make a make successful bid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, according to reports.
Ronaldo has been heavily linked with a move away from the European champions this season, and City are expected to sign several new players this summer as they look to give their squad a make over.
Respected Spanish football journalist Graham Hunterinsists that Ronaldo’s future remains uncertain, and only the player will decide where he ends up. He told Sky Sports News:
“I know that the players at Manchester City were talking very, very firmly that they believedthere was a successful move coming from that club over the last couple of weeks. Whether that makes it true or not, I wouldn’t like to say.
“What we know is the mega clubs, with petrodollars, there’s never been a better time to say: ‘Well, would you like to cash in on your chips?'”
Ronaldo joined Madrid from City’s fierce rivals, Manchester United, in 2009.
