Again the age numbers. We Gave Zlatan a massive Salary in Epl at that age because of his drive and he proved a massive success. Ronaldo is younger and fitter.Ronaldo will rip through Seria A in terms of goals I believe even at old age for 3 years Minimum. They can even play him as a striker instead of a Wide player and put him service on the plate and he'd take those happily. This is a minimum risk deal which will put Juventus and Seria A in a very very healthy position, little risk will reap Rewards achieved never before.
Cristiano Ronaldo | Real confirm deal

But not for four years. That is a major difference, we were pretty safe with the one year length.
So it is happening. Not bad Juve, not bad. Dont think anyone thought they had a chance, financially mostly. Lets see who they sell
Club must have grown a spine.
Hope he enjoys his stay at Juve.
Some of the posts on this thread are surprising. This man has defied the odds and been a driving force for Real in last 2 CL wins and does not even slightly look like he is done. People have been saying his form will fall off a cliff for 3 years now and it hasn't happened.
And people seem to think it is a bad deal for Juventus who are doing good in CL, but just about struggling to get over the line. And that is apart from kids learning from his motivation levels and all such stuff.
Juventus are not a poor club struggling to find money.

no ageing top players appear to see out their contract time, look at Rooney, RVP. its more financial stability
Which senior player offers themselves to clubs? You make an offer. They accept or reject. If we make an offer and he rejects fair enough but if we do not even try and not even sign to improve other areas I will not be pleased. We are Man United we are entitled and deserve the best!
this is annoyingly accurate
So who is he big winner in this deal?
Real - would be making a profit on Ronaldo and will most probably replace him with Neymar / Hazard
Ronaldo - 30 million per year, a slower league where he will be able to dominate much more
Juve - for 100 million they will be getting the best player on the planet this year, a player who will most probably win the Ballon D'or. Not to mention this deal could change the face of Italian football

It's not worth anything, Don Balon are the equivalent of the Sun, in fact possibly even worse.
Maybe he doesn't want to come back?
He seems like a guy who likes new challenges and his CV would be bolstered even more by winning trophies in another country and i can understand that. Personally i think it's a good move for him, at least he hasn't settled for wasting away in China or the US.
Some fans just want any excuse to bash the club, it's ridiculous.
Here here. Like a bunch of lovesick schoolboys in here. He moved on years ago, get over it.
Pretty clearly Madrid. 9 years of Ronaldo at his best, became their record scorer and won them 4 CLs and they're making a profit on the initial fee they paid for him.
I hope so, be about time too.
Aye, they've played this one perfectly.
He must be the greatest signing of all time. buy a megastar for 80 million, win endless trophies, champion leagues, then sell him for more than you paid for him on his decline. You wouldn't even dream that one up
I'm asking a simple question : Do you think Ronaldo will still be scoring 40-50 goals a season by the age of 37 ? Without a paragraph please.
Yes. Adidas pay United hundreds of millions for a reason. The shirt sale money goes to them, not to United. United maybe get 10% of the shirt sales. On top of this, if Ronaldo signed for United, it'd just mean fans would buy United shirts with Ronaldo on the back instead of Sanchez. It doesn't matter to United whether you get Jones, Smalling or Ronaldo on the back, a shirt sale is a shirt sale.
I don't think there's a clear winner here.
He was the best player on the planet last year and for 100 million some would say he's a steal
I can see him playing at a very good level into his late 30s because he keeps himself in top physical shape. The slow pace of the league will help him too
He has whored himself out to us when he wanted a bigger contract, now he is moving and there's nothing. Nada.
The proof is in the pudding, he never had any intention to ever rejoin us and the lingering regret I'm seeing today comes from years of believing Ronaldo would only come to Utd if he were to leave Madrid. Which have proven to be false.
If he does go - you have to admire the fact the Serie A over the years went from being down in the dumps to one of the best leagues around again. At least some of its former glory has been regained. Imho an older Ronnie playing in the Serie A is much better for footie than going to the MLS.
You mean selling him to MLS if he starts to decline ? Fair point that.
People often forget how desperate he was to leave, i don't think he ever really wanted to stay here in the long term, maybe it was the weather and lifestyle.
Its not that simple is it. It's not 80 million, it's about 200 million if you consider the inflation.
Portuguese press are saying he'll be officially presented as a Juve player this Saturday.
I don't know what's got into the Caf but there's no way on this earth that a 33 year old, even if it is Ronaldo, should be considered a steal at 100 million.
Hmm it might be that the "Ronaldo fans" who support him wherever he goes might switch their allegiance to his new team instead of Real Madrid, hence more shirt sales?
Seems like a good move for all parties involved, including Serie A as a whole. I'd say Madrid have the best outcome if this turns out to be true. They're likely to get a new top player.
A 33 year old who is going to win the Ballon D'or
Edit - I wouldn't want United to pay 100 million for him, no way;but he could prolong his career by a year or two by moving to serie A
Can't actually believe it's happening.

Sad that we are not in for him, but it’s absolutely understandable. We can’t afford this operation, as we have far more important issues to handle in our squad.
lol, those aren't the real odds. The market just has no liquidity so only rubbishy odds are available. However, transfering to Juve has been matched at 1.1 so at least some of the market thinks it's likely.
A lot of people said Neymar will have no chance of winning Ballon d'Or unless he wins WC/CL because of the French league and PSG's dominance, wonder if people will say the same thing about Ronaldo moving to Juventus.
Ronaldo is not going to go from 40+ goals to 10 goals in a season. Even after 4 years, he is likely to be still scoring some 25 goals. As long as Juventus keep adding players to compensate the slight decline (if it happens), they should be perfectly fine. And the likelihood of winning CL increases in these 4 years.
Don't think Juve are in some loss in the whole deal

Ok, but even at £50 a shirt, which not all fans pay thanks to cheaper sites, 10% of that is £5. That's about what United will make per shirt sale. In order to make up the 100m fee United would have to pay, they'd have to gain an additional 20 million shirt sales, at £50 a piece, from people who are just Ronaldo fans. That's just not going to happen.
Not when we lose our shit if we even get linked to a 29 year old.
Brilliant if Ronaldo joins Juve. Will prove himself in yet another league. He may be egotistical, but you have to admit he's always willing to step outside of his comfort zone and this despite his age which may cause some doubts in the minds of other players.
Played in a total of 4 leagues (if he joins Juve) and dragged a very average Portugal side to the European Championship. Glittering.

Think they will go for a winger. Good news for us - the best options are available from Liverpool - Salah and Mane. Obviously can't get Salah at the moment, but Mane is a real possibility, he didn't even rule out a future transfer recently.
Its a very good deal for all parties involved, there are no loosers here
