"With our lack of goals lately, we need a guy who can make a movement there."

"It was a great game, great play by the team, and everyone wants to play. We have 25 players who can play good and help the team, so competition is so big."

City have reportedly agreed personal terms with Ronaldo after his agent, Jorge Mendes, flew to Turin to negotiate his exit from Juventus.

The English champions have offered the 36-year-old a two-year deal to make a sensational move to the Etihad before the end of August.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Kevin de Bruyne is already relishing the idea of playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Man City this season, Manchester Evening news.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has told Juventus that he does not want to play for the club again through his agent Jorge Mendes, Sky Sports.

And this development has excited De Bruyne with reports claiming discussions are already ongoing for the 36-year-old's transfer to the Etihad.

It is understood that the Citizens are offering Ronaldo a two-year deal that would potentially see him tag along with the Belgian midfielder.
