Jorge Mendes Reportedly 'Set for Showdown Talks' over Cristiano Ronaldo Exit

Cristiano Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes, is reportedly due in Spain for showdown talks with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez after the club were said to have received an £88 million bid from Juventus for the player.

The Mirror's Martin Domin said Mendes hopes to hasten Ronaldo's transfer to Turin, with the connection between him and Real seemingly weakened, while Los Blancos could agree to a sale in the hopes it will lead them to Neymar.

The Paris Saint-Germain ace has been linked with a transfer to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu since before moving to Paris for Barcelona for £200 million last summer.
