Italian media claim Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes is 'in talks with Napoli to agree a loan move... while Victor Osimhen could head in the opposite direction to Old Trafford for £84.5m'

The ongoing saga over Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United future has taken yet another turn, with reports suggesting the Portuguese talisman could be set for a move to Italy with Napoli.

The Naples club have been considering a move for the 37-year-old throughout the summer, but talks appeared to have broken down before a bid had been submitted.
