The Champions League holders expected to hold on to their star attacker despite recent rumours, but he is set to begin a new chapter in Italy.
Real Madrid have been left shocked by Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to leave the European champions to join Juventus.
According to various sports websites, we can confirm the 33-year-old G.O.A.T is close to completing a move to the Serie A side, having already reached an agreement over a four-year contract worth €30 million (£26.5m/$35m) per season.
The news of his transfer to the Italian club was also revealed by disgraced former Juventus chief Luciano Moggi who claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo has ‘already signed’ from Real Madrid and passed a medical.
The 80-year-old who was Juventus’ chief executive from 1994 to 2006 before receiving a lifetime ban from football for his part in the ‘Calciopoli’ match-fixing scandal, told Italian TV network Tele7Gold: ‘In my opinion, he has already signed and passed the medical examination with Juventus in Munich.
‘This is what I think after talking to important people,’ he said.
