Juventus paid £ 105 million to sign Ronaldo from Real Madrid in the 2018 summer transfer window.
And, while the Portugal international has yet to lead them to Champions League glory, he has proven that it is worth the investment.

“We needed to guide him from time to time, but he always wanted to be the best in the world and would never let anyone get between him and his goal.
“That says a lot about his tough mentality. It is probably the environment in which you grew up that has made you so hungry for success. He’s the best I’ve ever played with ”.
