Sporting director Cristiano Guintoli has waved off speculation that Napoli were negotiating a move for Cristiano Ronaldo. Rumours suggested the Italian club were mulling over a swap deal for the Manchester United superstar involving striker Victor Osimhen.
The attacker scored 18 times and recorded six assists last season, prompting interest from a number of top European clubs. However, his agent came out to deny reports that his client was involved in any potential swap deal.
Earlier this week, Guintoli said there had “never been a real negotiation” regarding Ronaldo. READ MORE: Ten Hag gives update on Ronaldo role The 37-year-old has started on the bench for the last four United games amid their good run of form.
