Cristiano Ronaldo has shocked the football world after agreeing to a bombshell transfer back to the Premier League with Manchester United.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s return to Old Trafford after 12 years away has taken the football world by surprise given that he had seemed destined to join United’s bitter rivals, although for Mendes the move represents a perfect conclusion to a summer of speculation.
After three days of negotiations between the Portuguese super agent and officials from Manchester City and Juventus as he scrambled to find a new home for his most famous client before next week’s transfer deadline, Cristiano Ronaldo’s future was finally settled in a matter of hours.
United announced on Friday they had secured a deal with Juventus that was subject to the agreement of personal terms, a medical and a visa.
