Transfer news LIVE: Manchester United confirm agreement for Cristiano Ronaldo deal

Guardiola: “I’m incredibly happy with the squad I have, more than satisfied. We are the same guys except one guy leaves, Sergio [Aguero], and one guy arrives, Jack [Grealish]. I’m focused on the players we have.

“I say the same: These types of players decide. For example, Messi himself decided where he wanted to play. They knock on the door, they call. After that there are situations I can’t control, because it’s not my business.”

Guardiola: “Cristiano will decide where he wants to play, not Manchester City, not myself.”

Guardiola: “I cannot say much. Harry Kane announced he’s continuing at his club. Exceptional club like Tottenham, and Cristiano was a Juventus player – I think is a Juventus player.

“All I can say is with three or four days left [in the transfer window] everything can happen, but in my personal view there are few players – Ronaldo included – where they decide where they’re going to play.

“I would say right now, it’s my feeling, I’m delighted with the squad we have and we will stay the same.”

Elsewhere in Manchester, United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has just said the following on Cristiano Ronaldo:

“Cristiano is probably the greatest player of all time with [Lionel] Messi. I didn’t think he would leave Juventus. There has been speculation.

“We’ve always had a good communication. Bruno [Fernandes] has been talking to him as well and he knows what we feel about him. If he was ever going to move away from Juventus, he knows we are here.” – per The Telegraph and BBC Sport.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is set to speak to the media any moment now, as he previews tomorrow’s Premier League clash with Arsenal.

We’ll keep you up-to-date with all the coach has to say; he will certainly be asked about Cristiano Ronaldo.

“Yesterday, Cristiano told me he has no intention of playing for Juventus anymore,” Allegri said in a news conference on Friday, ahead of his team’s Serie A meeting with Empoli on Saturday.

“For this reason, he won’t be selected tomorrow,” Allegri continued.

“Things change, it’s a law of life. Juventus remains, which is the most important thing. Cristiano gave his contribution, he made himself available, now he leaves and life goes on.

“Cristiano is to be thanked for what he has done, also as an example amongst the youngsters, but as I said: We must move on.”

Real Madrid have announced a four-year extension to Casemiro’s contract.

The Brazil midfielder is now tied to Los Blancos until 2025.

A statement read: “Real Madrid and Casemiro have agreed to extend the player’s contract, which will remain linked to the club for the next four seasons, until June 30, 2025.”

Following Sky Sports’ earlier report that PSG will pursue the signing of Richarlison if they are to sell Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, Everton coach Rafael Benitez has insisted that the striker is not for sale.

In a press conference ahead of Everton’s Premier League game against Brighton this weekend, Benitez said: “We are not considering selling him.

“He is our player, we are really pleased with him and we are happy.

“Hopefully he can score a lot of goals for us this year.”

Brazil international Richarlison scored in Everton’s 3-1 victory over Southampton in their Premier League opener this month.

The Athletic have reported that Harry Kane in fact turned down the offer of a new contract from Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month.

The England captain signed a six-year contract in 2018, with no release clause included. As such, his attempts to engineer a move to Manchester City this summer fell flat, with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy standing firm.

But Tottenham wanted to amend the striker’s existing deal this month, according to The Athletic, with Kane rejecting the offer.
