Cristiano Ronaldo set the rumour mills going last May when the 33-year-old cast doubt over his future at the Bernabeu following his team's victory over Liverpool in the Champions League final.
Now that the Portugese forward finds himself out of the World Cup, the links are beginning to come thick and fast again, with one report claiming that Ronaldo is set to put pen to paper on a €100 million transfer to Serie A champions Juventus.
La Sexta’s Josep Pedrerol is the journalist claiming a four-year deal is already in place for the former Manchester United winger to move to Italy, where Pedrerol claims the player will earn €30 million a year.
Meanwhile, speaking to Sportitialia, former Juventus director Luciano Moggi has scotched the idea that Ronaldo would be a good move for the Old Lady:
It makes me laugh.
Juve's problem is not Ronaldo, it's putting together the defence and the midfield.
For me they would be wrong to get Cristiano with a €30 million salary.
It does seem a massive outlay for Juventus, who are usually very parsimonious when it comes to signing players, having signed the likes of Emre Can, Sami Khedira, Dani Alves and most famously Paul Pogba on free transfers. Perhaps with all of their wheeling and dealing the Bianconeri are finally ready to break the bank to land the five time Ballon d'Or winner.
