City’s move for Ronaldo comes after transfer talks broke down in their pursuit of England and Tottenham captain Harry Kane.
Kane was rumoured to have warranted a £150million fee from Spurs before they would sanction his departure – but an astronomical fee such as that was always going to be a tough task, with City eventually backing down.
Guardiola claimed City didn’t even bid once, contrary to reports – with the Spaniard talking about Daniel Levy’s tough negotiating style being a hinderance.
“The club did everything. We didn’t talk about Tottenham not even one offer, they didn’t want to negotiate. When one team doesn’t want to negotiate, nothing to say. Understandable, they didn’t want to talk.
“The moment they open the door maybe it happens. If they wanted £200m we wouldn’t pay it, we don’t have it.
“We tried, but the big master of negotiations Daniel Levy knows everything, we couldn’t do it. Maybe I’d do the same.
“He’s a Tottenham player and I wish him the best in the last years of his career doing well in London.”
