Man City urged to consider moving for Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo

Former Chelsea midfielder Andy Townsend says Manchester City should move for Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's been suggested in Spain that Juve will seek to sell former Manchester United star Ronaldo in 2021 to help balance the books.

Townsend told talkSPORT: "He's unbelievable in the air, which we've seen in a Juventus shirt already.

"If he became available and Juve wanted out on him and Man City needed goals for their team then I don't think you should hesitate in going to get Cristiano Ronaldo.

"He's 35 and I still think he's got 18 months in him.

"If he came to Man City and the way they play I think he could go there and get 25 in his first season."
