Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri said on Friday that Cristiano Ronaldo told him he wants to leave the club.
Sources have told ESPN that Ronaldo is close to finalising a move to Manchester City and he was absent from Friday's training session.
"Yesterday, Cristiano Ronaldo communicated to me that he has no intention of remaining at Juventus," Allegri told a news conference ahead of Saturday's Serie A clash with Empoli. "For this reason, he has not been selected."
