The Spanish outlet reports that talks between Ronaldo and Juventus have already begun, and the Italian champions have offered €120 million for four years for the player. The same reports also claim that Real Madrid is happy to let the player leave.

Juventus’ interest in signing the player reportedly started ever since the player seemingly signified the end of his Real Madrid career after the Champions League final. Ronaldo stated that it was a pleasure to be at the club for such a long time.

“Now to enjoy, and in the next few days I will give an answer to the fans that they are on my side, it was very nice to be in Madrid.”

“In the next few days I will give an answer, now we have to enjoy the moment, the future of any player is not important, we have made history.” said Ronaldo.

However he apologised for the statement later the same night.

Marca also reports that Real Madrid have guaranteed Cristiano Ronaldo to lower his buyout clause to ensure a deal goes through.

Earlier, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal crashed out of the round-of-16 of the World Cup 2018, when they lost 2-1 to Uruguay. Ronaldo top-scored for Portugal with four goals, which included a hattrick against Spain.
