Juve and Ronaldo’s former side United have both been heavily linked with moves for the forward.
And Spanish football expert Balague says Ronaldo will not be returning to Old Trafford, as Mourinho has no interest in signing the Real star this summer.
"The representatives from Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid spoke about the situation,” he said.

"They reached a position where he got an offer from - I almost said Manchester United then - but they are not interested at all, they haven't been involved.
"He will get £30m a year from Juventus and they are willing to pay £100m and no more than that.
"Real Madrid haven't received that offer yet, but Jorge Mendes has promised it will arrive soon."
Should Ronaldo head to Juve this summer, United will pocket £2.2m as a result of FIFA’s Solidarity Mechanism.
The Solidarity Mechanism is a formula used to deliver compensation to clubs who invested in players between the ages of 12 and 23.
