Manchester City players are excited by the prospect of Cristiano Ronaldo arriving from Juventus.

The 36-year-old's future at Juventus has been cast into doubt this summer and is now on the verge of signing for the Premier League champions, Portuguese reports suggest, after he agreed personal terms with City.

The Telegraph says City's players have been discussing the potential prospect of playing alongside the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Ronaldo has been 'the topic of conversation' during training on Thursday, asking Ronaldo's Portugal and former Juve team-mate Joao Cancelo how he trains and what work he does away from the training ground.

The report goes on to add that the players believe his recent role as an orthodox No 9 will hugely benefit the team as much as Harry Kane would have, if his summer moved didn't collapse.
