Ballague stated that Mendes did offer Ronaldo to Man Utd but we declined. Not sure how much you can make of that.
I think those who could have bought him are looking long term and don't want to spend big money. I don't know.
I'd like to hear Ronaldo's reason for leaving. It's sad that money is a factor in this decision. I believe players still get a 10% signing on fee? so he will recoup a lot of that 18million fine. Increased wages more than likely? New sponsorship deal so he is probably a happy chappy.
Looks like I was wrong about him staying @Raoul. Just glad this saga is over.
Maybe Ronaldo did not fancy a PL challenge at this age. He has done it in England, now in Spain, so Italy would be a new challenge.
There's literally nothing else for him to accomplish at Madrid, combined probably with a bit of tension between him and Perez. Time to move on.
This. I really think that it’s a much better move for Ronaldo now. Pretty much guaranteed trophies, more goals to be scored and history to be written.
Given how things ended between CR7 and Mou I wouldn't be too surprised if working with each other wasn't too high on either ones agenda.
That being said I think he will do really well for 3+ more years in the Italian league due to it's usually lower tempo and more tactical play style. Just wonder what will happen to Higuain now?
Finally
Agreed, and time to move on from the Premier League too me thinks.
If he can win the Scudetto a few times, it builds his legacy that much more.
The Ron has come back to Turin!

Feck me! They actually signed him.

Looks tasty. Hopefully, this means Alex Sandro to United isn't too far away.

Crazy. I must admit I though he would stay in the end.
If Juventus can get 1 CL out of this its well worth it for them.
What a deal for Juve.
Quite surprised that we weren't interested in him but can see the reasons.

Imagine if he wins the CL with them. Surely will go down as one of the best players ever
Erm he already is...
Pretty sure he already is.
I am very jealous.
To me he is, but I know there's others that think differently especially when we speak of all time and not just this century
Real got some deal out of twinkle toes, sign him for 80, he scores a goal a game for what is it 8-9 seasons, then sell him for a profit.
Fixed.
Real Madrid must be loaded now. They haven’t really spend a lot in recent years, and now they’ve freed a lot in the wage department. Think they could easily spend 300m this window, if they want to.
Makes me sick
It's gonna be weird seeing him in the black and white.
Good deal for everyone.
No one will see him though. Who watch that league?
Ronaldo will not play anywhere else but the central striker position.
Quite a few more people now, I imagine. Also there's CL.
I think Messi will go down as the goat.
I wish we could have gone for him. Logically, it is not a good idea but based on pure emotions it would be amazing to see him back as Ronaldo 2.0
Most the people who were watching La Liga for him will simply switch over to Serie A. La Liga isn't exactly that watched these days anyway, not like it used to be.
Personally very glad we didn't get him.
I think Ronaldo is going to get a rude awakening next year about his current level.
Real Madrid know what they're doing. I reckon Hazard will go there. Mbappe next summer.

No doubt, deal of the century.
Serie A has always been well watched in the UK. Spain overtook it 10 years ago but it has a good following and moves like this will boost the numbers up. It's not like the French or German which can be watched but you never really talk to anyone in real life who watches them two leagues.
Yeah it’ll be interesting to see what they do. As much as losing Ronaldo hurts, this is a great deal for them as well. The only issue is, two of the players they are going to target are PSG players who likely have no intent to sell, and certainly don’t need the $.
