Juventus president Andrea Angnelli is flying out to Greece in order to seal a move for Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo is currently on holiday with his family near Kalamata, with the player's agent Jorge Mendes also expected to arrive in Greece from England after successfully negotiating Wolves' boss Nuno one-year contract extension at the newly promoted club.
Agnelli was pictured at Pisa international airport leaving Italy this morning on his way to meet with the five time Ballon d'Or winner:

A fee of around €100 million is believed to be enough to prise the 33-year-old from the La Liga side, with Ronaldo set to earn around €30 million a year in Turin.
Meanwhile Spanish news outlet El Chiringuito has reported that newly installed Real Madrid Julen Lopetegui has phoned Ronaldo, pleading with the former Manchester United winger to stay at the Bernabeu, insisting that he would built his side around the forward.
Reports also suggest that Los Blancos president Florentino Perez will demand that the Portugese captain appear at a press conference to announce his departure from the Santiago Bernabeu,.
