Over the last few days, there’s been growing speculation surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Real Madrid. The 33-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Juventus.
Sport Witness reported on July 4th about the Turin club’s interest in signing the Portuguese international in the summer transfer window. However, we also revealed the player hadn’t taken a decision on his future as of Wednesday.
Spanish newspaper AS claim Ronaldo is now “getting closer” to joining the Old Lady. There is “total agreement” between the forward and Juventus as he is determined to leave the Champions League winners. They say he has agreed to Juventus’ offer, which will see him earn €30m per season.
The former Manchester United star’s disagreement with Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has been the reason behind his decision to leave the 13-time European champions, say AS. The La Liga giants will use the funds from Ronaldo’s sale to sign Neymar.
With Zinedine Zidane’s departure and Ronaldo’s possible impending exit, AS points out Real Madrid will lose two strong pillars of the team that has been so successful in Europe for the past five years. Perez will have to bring Neymar to keep fans happy, for the sporting project and for marketing reasons.
