Cristiano Ronaldo has left Juventus and joined Manchester United after three years in Turin with the Bianconeri.
Massimiliano Allegri confirmed in a press conference on Friday that the player had decided to leave Juventus, saying that he didn’t plan to play for them again, and a move to Manchester City had seemed the most likely.
A statement released by the Premier League side 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.”
Allegri confirmed earlier on Friday that Ronaldo wanted to leave Juventus.
“Yesterday, speaking with Cristiano, he told me that he has no intention of staying at Juventus, for this reason, he will not be picked tomorrow. This morning he didn’t train,” Allegri told reporters.
Rumors that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner will move to Manchester City had been gathering pace after the Premier League champions missed out on English captain Harry Kane.
“He was here three years, he made his contribution, he made himself available to Juventus and now he’s leaving. Life goes on.” Allegri added.
Juve had confirmed that Ronaldo would not train with his teammates earlier on Friday, with media reports indicating that the player arrived at the club’s training center in the morning to say goodbye to his teammates.
