Cristiano Ronaldo backed his old club Real Madrid and former rival Manchester City to return to the peak of their powers, as the two European giants approach the midpoint of what has been a difficult season for both.

Manchester City are in a critical situation and the winter transfer market is an opportunity to change things up.

Relevo says there was concrete interest from Manchester City during last summer's transfer window. Indeed, City even made an offer - but that was snubbed by Rodrygo. Real Madrid also have no interest in considering such a deal involving their attacking midfielder.
