"He´ll play regularly, he´ll play as a No 9, I´m sure they´ll put legs in and around him. He will score goals and Cristiano Ronaldo will be coming to win trophies, win personal accolades and set the Premier League on fire."
Ronaldo scored 118 goals during six seasons in Manchester between 2003 and 2009, helping the club under former manager Sir Alex Ferguson win three Premier League titles, a Champions League , the FIFA Club World Cup, two League Cups and one FA Cup
"This is why he will not be called up tomorrow. He did not train yesterday. He told his team mates this morning. I am not surprised at anything, in football there is the market and there are the needs of individuals.
"I cannot say much," said the Spanish coach when asked about Ronaldo at a news conference to preview Saturday's home match against Arsenal. "Only I can say that in this three or four days left until the transfer window shuts, everything can happen.
Golden visa programs around the world offer residence in exchange for investment but have been widely criticized for attracting fraud. Portugal's program has drawn more than 4 billion euros ($4.6 billion) in investment, mostly from Chinese citizens, since 2012.
City were offered the 36-year-old Portuguese star, who had made it clear he wanted to leave Juventus, and were considered front-runners for his signature but decided the deal was not one they wished to pursue. The move will be a kick in the teeth for City manager Pep Guardiola, who only days ago saw his pursuit of Tottenham and England striker Harry Kane come to an end
The court in Lisbon said Friday it was not proven that former Interior Minister Miguel Macedo had favored Chinese and Angolan investors in administrative procedures granting the so-called "golden visas."
'We've always had a good communication - I know Bruno (Fernandes) has been talking to him as well. He knows what we feel about him and if he was ever going to move away from Juventus, he knows that we're here.

Allegri's comments sparked a media frenzy, with reports in both the Italian and British media claiming Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes, had already agreed personal terms with City - a move that would have proved controversial given their rivalry with United.
United said the deal was subject to the agreement of personal terms, visa and a medical, which is being carried out in Lisbon. He will reportedly earn a salary of £480,000-a-week, making him by far the highest earner at United. Above: Ronaldo was pictured arriving in the Portuguese capital on Friday afternoon
The 36-year-old is set to return to Old Trafford for a £12.8million fee which could rise to £19.4million with add-ons after the club stepped in following the collapse of his talks with their fierce rivals Manchester City.
Ronaldo spent six seasons at Old Trafford from 2003-2009 where he won eight major trophies plus the Ballon d'Or as the world's best player in 2008 before sealing a then world record 80 million pounds move to Real Madrid.
"Today I leave a wonderful club, the largest in Italy and certainly one of the largest in Europe," he said. "I gave my heart and soul for Juventus and I will always love the city of Turin until my last days.
