Cristiano-City agreement: there is a mess with Sterling-Gabriel Jesus

Cristiano takes another step towards Manchester City. As AS learned, the agreement between the Portuguese and the club is imminent and will not represent any problem for the operation to come to fruition. Ronaldo would sign until 2023, earning around 15 million euros net, although the financial details are still to be resolved, and they will do so smoothly.

For the soap opera to reach its final point, however, the agreement with Juventus is missing, which, as this newspaper announced, has long ago chosen the replacement of its star: Gabriel Jesus.

The Bianconeri need to receive around 25 million euros to let Cristiano leave without causing handicaps in his balance sheet, and, therefore, they want to negotiate a barter that includes the Brazilian. The problem is that Pep Guardiola has hung the non-transferable sign on his tip and, therefore, City has offered to include Raheem Sterling in the operation instead.

An option that Vecchia Signora does not like, who need a center forward and not a winger: The Italian club will continue to press for Gabriel Jesus, aware that the player wants to leave and with his 'yes, I want' in his pocket.

Cristiano, meanwhile, waits impatiently. From Turin they assure that Juve is more out than ever and his agent Jorge Mendes traveled to Italy to fix the matter as soon as possible and in the next few hours he will travel to England to finish closing the operation. The goal is to prevent CR7 from having to play again next weekend (Saturday with Empoli) and that the controversies experienced during the match with Udinese are repeated. It won't be easy to fix everything in such a short time, but the agent is in Turin to get it done.
