Real Madrid considering £88m bid from Juventus for Cristiano Ronaldo
The five-time Ballon D’Or winner threw his Madrid future into doubt with comments made after the Champions League final victory over Liverpool.
Ronaldo is 33 and new boss Julen Lopetegui has been tasked with reshaping an ageing squad that finished 17 points behind La Liga champions Barcelona last season.
Juventus have seized their opportunity amid the uncertainty and a bid of 100m euros will tempt the Galaticos.
Juventus’ current transfer record currently stands at £79m for Gonzalo Higuain in 2016.
This would eclipse that and it would also be more than the £80m Real paid Manchester United for Ronaldo in 2009.
He has gone on to win five Champions Leagues and become the club’s all-time top scorer with 451 goals since that move.
Madrid are thought to be considering the bid with the 33-year-old said to be keen on a fresh start elsewhere after nine years with the club.
But when asked if Juve fans could dream of Ronaldo signing for them, Giuseppe Marotta simply responded: “no comment”.
Few sides in world football can afford Ronaldo’s £385,000-a-week wages
