Man City ‘offer Ronaldo 2-year £230k a week contract but want a free transfer’

Manchester City have reportedly offered Cristiano Ronaldo a two-year contract after missing out on a deal for Harry Kane this summer.

Pep Guardiola’s side chased the Tottenham talisman and England captain all throughout the window but the £150million-rated forward revealed on Wednesday that he is ‘100 per cent’ remaining at Spurs for the coming season.

Missing out on Kane means City have limited options in the centre-forward position after Sergio Aguero’s departure on a free transfer. Gabriel Jesus is the only recognised forward but has been used out wide, while Ferran Torres and Liam Delap remain options.

And according to Gianlucadimarzio.com, City are willing to offer Ronaldo a two-year deal worth over £230,000-a-week but do not want to pay Juventus a transfer fee for the Portuguese icon.

The report says the Old Lady want around £25million for the player which would allow them to find a replacement so late in the window.

Juventus reportedly like the idea of taking on City’s Brazilian striker Jesus in a swap, but Guardiola is said to have rebuffed that idea.

Reports across Europe claim Ronaldo, 36, is looking for a new challenge and his agent Jorge Mendes offered him to City last week for £25m.

Ronaldo was left on the bench of Juventus’ last Serie A game away at Udinese, raising speculation about his future, but the Portuguese forward did come off the bench in that match and scored a winner, only for it to be chalked off by VAR.

Paris Saint-Germain remain interested in Ronaldo as well with the French giants struggling to keep Kylian Mbappe, who was the subject of a £137million bid from Real Madrid this week.

City have already spent big in this window after securing Aston Villa and England midfielder Jack Grealish for a British record £100million fee.

Guardiola’s Premier League champions wanted to add Kane as an arrival but saw an opening bid of £75m plus £25m in add-ons rejected by Spurs owner Daniel Levy, who maintained Kane was not for sale this window.

City tried to test Tottenham’s resolve by launching a bid closer to Levy’s £150m valuation for the striker but Kane stopped the top-flight champions in their tracks on Wednesday by revealing his intentions to stay at Spurs.

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday afternoon, the 28-year-old said: ‘It was incredible to see the reception from the Spurs fans on Sunday and to read some of the messages of support I’ve had in the last few weeks.

‘I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success.

Kane is the second-highest goalscorer in Tottenham’s history with 221 goals in 337 appearances since making his first-team debut a decade ago.

3 Businesses Owned By Jim Iyke That Might Answer Uche Madagwu’s Questions About His Source Of Wealth

The name Jim Iyke in the Nigerian entertainment industry is unknown to few but known by many in the country and even outside the country. The popular Nollywood actor has worked his ass off to get to where he is today, and mere accusation without proper investigation won’t make people say otherwise about the actor.

Just days ago, Popular Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu accused Jim Iyke of many things, calling him out to explain his sources of wealth which was the buzz of the Internet a few days ago. The talented but sharp-mouthed Nollywood actor who loves trolling many on the internet even compared the actor to Hushpuppi.

Although, the popular actor, Jim Iyke responded today as he met the actor at one “Naija Hood” studio where he beat up Uche Maduagwu. However, in this article, I would be showing 3 businesses owned by Jim Iyke that shows Uche Maduagwu answer is not far fetched;

1. Burgeon Global;

According to research, the popular Nollywood actor is the alleged owner of a bottling company named “Burgeon Global” which is located in Abuja. It can also be confirmed on his Instagram page.

2. Real Estate Business;

Jim Iyke With his workers.

The popular Nollywood actor is in the Real Estate business and can be confirmed with the Instagram profile of the company. The company deals with construction, and real estate business which we all know has lots of huge income if invested properly.

3. Mercurial Travel Agency;

This is one of the businesses founded by the Nollywood actor. It’s a co-founded company and according to him, he call on a partner to start the business together. As known, travelling business is one of the lucrative businesses in the world.

Apart from the money he gets as an actor and as a brand ambassador of other reputable companies, these are some of the businesses the popular actor owns that must have answered the baseless accusations of Uche Maduagwu.

Note; it was wrong for Jim Iyke to assault him physically, and should have just filed a lawsuit against him. He shouldn’t have beat him up.

Do you think these 3 businesses allegedly owned by Jim Iyke answers Uche Maduagwu’s baseless accusations and do you think it was right for Jim Iyke to beat him up?

OFFICIAL: Lukaku will wear the number nine shirt for Chelsea this season

The striker takes the vacant squad number following Tammy Abraham’s departure to Roma yesterday, with Lukaku continuing with the same shirt number that served him so well at Inter Milan last season.

The Belgian took part in his first official training session with his new Chelsea team-mates at Cobham yesterday, after completing a short spell in isolation following the finalisation of his transfer.

Lukaku, who has also had Premier League stints with Everton and Manchester United, says he is delighted to be donning the No 9 shirt and wants to act as a leader at Stamford Bridge.

“Yes, I have the No 9 shirt,” said Lukaku. “I’m very happy and very fortunate to be in the situation.

“Cesar Azpilicueta’s the captain, he’s been here for many years, he’s a great captain.

“When I was in quarantine he was already messaging me, to help about houses and things like that.

“So in terms of leaders, there are many players that have big personalities in this dressing room.

“I’m one of the players who likes to connect everybody and make everyone feel comfortable and give them confidence.

“Because those players deserve to be Chelsea players and they showed that last season.”

Lukaku also revealed he has been talking to one of his predecessors as the leader of the Chelsea line, in the shape of club legend Didier Drogba.

“He [Drogba] kept it really simple,” said Lukaku.

“He was really happy about the improvements that I made in the last couple of seasons and he’s always saying that there is more work to be done.

“That is the right mindset.

“I think the last two seasons have been great for myself at club level and international level – and now I get a chance to join a team that is very hungry and very ambitious.

“I’m very happy to be here, now it’s up to us to prepare as a team and keep winning.

“The guys are very hungry and want to keep winning, everyone wants to work hard and keep improving.”

Lukaku has been training with the squad this week and says he is available to face Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday, having done a ‘whole pre-season’ beforehand.
