Cristiano Ronaldo, imminent transfer

In the last hours the negotiations have intensified. Juventus will travel between today and tomorrow to Madrid to try to close the signing for 100 million euros.

The signing of Cristiano Ronaldo for Juventus is imminent. The Portuguese already has a total agreement with the Turin club, which would pay 30 million euros net per year, and in the last hours, negotiations have intensified. On Wednesday night there was a meeting between Jorge Mendes, the player's agent, and José Ángel Sánchez, general manager of the club, which showed the great distance between the parties. So much that, at this time, it seems insurmountable. The newspaper Record thus summarized the result of that meeting: "Cristiano has closed the door definitively to Real Madrid".

Once that meeting was over, the meetings have been continuous. In Spain and Turin, where the leaders of Juventus held a summit this morning to analyze the situation and draw the road map in the Christian Operation. With the OK of the Portuguese under his arm, all that remains is for Real Madrid and Juventus to agree on the terms of the transfer. For that reason, Marotta and Paratici, general director of the Juventus and sporting director, respectively, will fly in the next hours to the capital of Spain. The Italian leaders are scheduled to meet today or tomorrow with Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez to formally send their offer for Cristiano: 100 million euros.

An offer that Real Madrid would be willing to accept with a condition, as the club told Jorge Mendes on Wednesday: that Cristiano, with a contract until 2021 and with a clause of 1,000 million, publicly go to explain the reasons why wants to leave Madrid. The objective sought by the Chamartín entity is that the partner understands why the club does not refer to the clause and agrees to transfer to the top scorer in its history for only four million euros more than when he signed him nine years ago.

Cristiano does not feel valued by the club, which has not fulfilled its promise to improve the contract. A promise that Florentino Pérez made after the final of the Cardiff Champions League. The crack believed that after winning the Golden Ball, the president would embark on that improvement but not only did not but in full earning of the award flirted with the possibility of signing Neymar. "If he wants to win the Golden Ball, he would have more options in Madrid," he said in El Larguero. Some statements that annoyed him as much as his not raising salary. Since then, Cristiano put the matter aside. "I do not want to renew," he said in November. Then he clarified: "I want to retire here, but I do not command ...". But after winning the Thirteenth, in full celebrations, released the bomb: "It was nice to play in Madrid." He already ruminated his departure from Madrid.

According to Premium Sport, it was Cristiano, before the World Cup, when he met with Juventus and offered himself to the Italian club, who, since meeting, have looked for ways to finance an operation that seems to have more than on track. The key can be in the company Fiat, owner of the Italian club, which could become an external sponsor of Cristiano to assume the 30 million euros of the crack. Cristiano is closer than ever to becoming a Juventus player, who even wants to present him next Saturday as SportMediaset counts. The transfer is imminent.
