From Cristiano Ronaldo to Ruben Dias: Football super agent Jorge Mendes' star-studded client list

Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Manchester United as the official statement got released on Friday evening (August 27). 

While talks were rife that Ronaldo was set to be acquired by Manchester City, after he made it clear that he isn't willing to stay in Juventus despite his contract ending in less than 12 months, the Cityzens backed out in the last minute from the negotiations and made him eligible to be signed by Manchester United. For the unversed, the elite club jumped in talks with his agent Jorge Mendes on Thursday evening (August 26). 

As per reports, Man United will play Juventus €25 million, plus add-ons for attaining the services of Ronaldo. 

Fabinho has been among Liverpool's best signings. He has played a crucial role under Jurgen Klopp's success. 

When Manchester City signed another top quality attacking midfielder in the shape of 100 million pounds ($138.43 million)British record signing Jack Grealish in the close season it appeared Bernardo Silva`s days at the club were numbered.

The 27-year-old was linked with a move by British media, with competition for places so tough given Grealish was added to a list of attackers that included Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, Ferran Torres and many more.

But the determined Portuguese has worked hard and made himself a key component again for manager Pep Guardiola, earning City a hard-fought 1-0 win at Leicester City on Saturday with a well-taken winner and seems keen to stay put.

"I love the club, I love my team mates, I love football here," the determined Silva said. "I`m enjoying it and I`m always going to give my best."

24-year-old Ruben Dias is the highest valued client in Mendes' list. He joined Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in 2020 and became the Premier League’s Player of the Year. The defender played a crucial role in the team's win in the Premier League.

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson is among the top goalkeepers in the Premier League. He is among Jorge's clients and joined Pep Guardiola's side for 50 million euros from SL Benfica.
