VIEW FROM ITALY: Cristiano Ronaldo is desperate to leave Juventus to win the Champions League yet again and has never appreciated Max Allegri's defensive style... City or United be warned - he is fickle, demanding and has no love for tactics

Cristiano Ronaldo may continue to train with professionalism at Juventus, but inside he is tired and nervous. His smiles on the pitch hide his desire to move this summer, and he already believes his chapter in Turin has come to an end.

Described as a soap opera, this transfer saga looks set to end with Ronaldo joining Manchester City, who should be aware of the type of player the superstar is now. He is demanding, and believes Juventus can no longer match his ambitions.

For now, the Old Lady represent the past.
