It’s actually official

Cristiano Ronaldo has joined Juventus from Real Madrid for a fee in the region of £105m. He has signed a four-year contract that will see him earn £500k per week at the Italian club.

The Portuguese forward scored 451 goals in 438 matches for Real Madrid, winning three consecutive Champions League trophies.

He joins a Juventus side which has won seven back-to-back Serie A titles, but which has not claimed the Champions League since 1996.

Ronaldo spoke after the Champions League final, hinting at the possibility that he would leave Real Madrid this summer, after eight seasons at the club. He told reporters straight after the final whistle that “In the coming days there will be an answer about my future. It has been nice playing for Real Madrid”.
