Manchester United have reached an agreement to resign Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus, the club has announced.
A statement read: “Manchester United is delighted to confirm that the club has reached agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, subject to agreement of personal terms, visa and medical.”
“In his first spell for Manchester United, he scored 118 goals in 292 games. Everyone at the club looks forward to welcoming Cristiano back to Manchester.”
Earlier in the day, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri confirmed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s desire to leave the Italian giants.
Premier League champions Manchester City had been widely linked with a move for the Portuguese forward after missing out on England captain Harry Kane.
However, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær hinted his club could make a late swoop to bring Ronaldo back to Old Trafford, with the source close to the deal later telling AFP that Juve had received an offer without giving any further details.
