Cristiano Ronaldo, after completing his medical at Juventus, has met with the press and has stated that he is looking forward to the challenges at the Old Lady.

Ronaldo will be paid a reported 30 million euros a year – which is believed to be more than double what Juve paid their previous highest-paid player Gonzalo Higuain.

“Juventus is one of the best teams in the world. It was a long-time decision I made. An easy decision for the size of the club and a very important step for my career,” he said.

“I’m a person who likes to think about the present. I’m still very young and I always liked the challenges, from Sporting, to Manchester and now Juventus.

“It’s a challenge, and I’m very prepared. Things will go well.”

“Players of my age usually go to other countries with all due respect. At this point in my career playing for such a big club makes me happy.

“I thank Juve for the great opportunity they have given me. ”

“I want to leave a mark in the history of Juve. I am very pleased with this challenge,” he added.
