Juventus ‘make move to sign Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo with stunning €120million pay package’
Marca claim the Italian champions are ready to go all out to sign the five-time Ballon d'Or winner
Juventus are poised to make a move for Cristiano Ronaldo, according to widespread reports.
Following a trophy-laden nine years at Real Madrid, speculation is rife that the 33-year-old is seeking a new challenge.
Ronaldo has done little to dispel the rumours over his future, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner refusing the guarantee he will stay at the Bernabeu having apparently been left unhappy by the club’s failure to offer him a new contract that would make him the highest-paid player in the world.
Now, according to Marca and Tuttosport, Juventus are ready to go all out to sign the Portuguese superstar.
Juve, who have won seven successive Serie A titles, are reportedly willing to pay Ronaldo a staggering €120million (£106m) over the next four years to convince him to see out his career in Italy.
He currently pockets around £350,000-a-week at Real Madrid but the deal on the table from Juve would see his weekly pay rocket to £500,000.
His agent Jorge Mendes stated back in that Ronaldo has a £1billion release clause in his Real Madrid contract, which expires in 2021.
But there has been speculation recently that the buy-out fee has been reduced to £100million by the Spanish club.
With Ronaldo yet to agree a new deal, a move to Juve could therefore suit all parties.
