Reports had suggested that Ronaldo is going to sign up with Manchester City, but that did not happen.
An official statement released by Manchester United said, “Manchester United is delighted to confirm that the club has reached an agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, subject to agreement of personal terms, visa and medical.”
This would be Ronaldo’s second stint with the Premier League club. In his first spell for Manchester United, he scored 118 goals in 292 games.
Manchester United have not revealed the length of the contract yet but Sky Italia has reported that the Premier giants will pay Juventus 25 million euro ($29.49 million). While Ronaldo has reportedly signed a two-year contract, worth 480,000 pounds ($660,048.00) a week.
