MILAN (AFP) - Cristiano Ronaldo will not train with Juventus on Friday (Aug 27), the Italian Serie A giants confirmed to AFP, as rumours of an imminent move to Manchester City gather pace.

Widespread media reports said that the Portuguese footballer left Juve's Continassa training centre before the start of Friday's session. Sky Sport Italia reported that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner arrived in the morning to say goodbye to his team-mates before leaving at around 10.45 am local time (4.45pm Singapore time).
