Juventus have dominated Italian football in recent years, but some of their star players are delighted that Cristiano Ronaldo is set to make them even stronger.
As confirmed by Real Madrid in an official statement, the 33-year-old is set to leave the Bernabeu this summer, with La Gazzetta dello Sport noting that it’s ahead of a €105m move to Juventus.

Having won seven consecutive Scudetti and four Coppa Italia trophies, it’s fair to say that the Bianconeri were already a daunting opponent for their domestic rivals.
However, it could be about to get even more difficult to topple them and end their reign next season if Ronaldo is leading their charge for more major honours.
Further, the Portuguese international will also be expected to be a significant factor in the Champions League for the Turin giants, given his goal tally and winning pedigree having won the competition five times.
As noted in the tweets below, Paulo Dybala and Sami Khedira couldn’t contain their delight over the move as they welcomed their new teammate to the club with the latter set for a reunion after his previous spell with Real Madrid.
Coupled with the signings of Emre Can and Joao Cancelo already this summer, Juve are building a side capable of going all the way in Europe. Time will tell if Ronaldo can lead them there to end their 22-year wait as he looks ahead to linking up with the likes of Dybala and Khedira next season.
