JUVENTUS
On July 10, 2018, Ronaldo signed a four-year contract with Italian club Juventus after completing a €100 million transfer, which also included an additional €12 million in other fees and solidarity contributions to Ronaldo's youth clubs. This happened despite months of negotiations to sign a new Real Madrid contract. The move represented the largest sum ever paid to a player above the age of 30 by an Italian team. Ronaldo initially cited his desire for a fresh challenge as the reason behind his decision to leave Real Madrid, but he then blamed the club's president, Florentino Pérez, for his perceived lack of support.

The same day, it was revealed that Ronaldo's former club, Manchester United, was in advanced negotiations to sign him. Former manager Alex Ferguson and numerous other ex-teammates had also been in contact with Ronaldo to try and convince him to re-sign for United.
