If there ever was a sign that Cristiano Ronaldo is set to be leaving Juventus and potentially heading to Manchester City, it’s the fact he isn’t training.
The news comes from Romeo Agresti, a journalist for Goal Italia, who posted a video on Twitter showing the player drive off and where he explains Cristiano Ronaldo ‘has left Continassa’, which is Juventus’ training complex.
This comes after a manic 24 hours that saw Jorge Mendes travel around Europe, going from Turin to Paris, followed by a trip from Paris to Porto, during which he was frantically trying to sort out a transfer to Manchester City for his client.
Corriere dello Sport have a bit more on the whole training fiasco, explaining the player arrived at 9.20 and left 40 minutes later.

To them, this suggests a divorce between Juventus and Cristiano Ronaldo is ‘now only a matter of hours’.
Basically, the forward ‘only went to say goodbye, definitively and for the last time, to his teammates’.
As for his locker, it had ‘already been emptied yesterday’.
A huge sign for Manchester City fans, who are waiting to see if they will get the former Manchester United star for the next couple of seasons after it was reported a contract was agreed, which will coincide with the last two years of Pep Guardiola’s contract at the Etihad.
