His ex teammate, Fabio has speculated that Ronaldo could never have joined Manchester City and that the rumours were probably sparked by his agent, Jorge Mendes.

“It was Pedro, who plays here [FC Nantes] with me, who said: ‘Manchester City are almost done with Cristiano’. I said: ‘It’s not possible’. I didn’t believe it at any point.
“I don’t know if it was a move made by Jorge Mendes, his manager, to create something because that’s what happens nowadays. I’m just saying that because I don’t have any idea.
“I didn’t believe at any point that he was going to City. From his history at United, from what I know a bit from the two years I played with him. It would have been difficult for him to have the courage to play for City because he preserves that history so much. Equally, I’m sure he wouldn’t play at Barcelona.
“He greatly values the history he has made wherever he has been. Cristiano Ronaldo played at the clubs he wanted that he had the dream of. Manchester, Real Madrid and Juventus. That’s why I don’t think he would tarnish that history.”
Fabio Da Silva played with Ronaldo during his fell spell at Old Trafford between 2007 and 2019. He now plays for ligue 1 side, Nantes.
