On Tuesday via their official website, Italian football club Juventus
announced signing Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo from Spanish
capital club Real Madrid. Per the press release, Ronaldo penned a
four-year contract with the Turin club, which runs until June 30, 2022.
Juventus said the €100 million transfer fee and €12 million in
add-ons is to be paid in two financial years.

33-year-old Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2009 from English club
Manchester United, for a reported then-world record fee of £80 million.
Since then, the Portuguese has played 438 games, scoring 451 goals, a
club record. During his tenure at Santiago Bernabeu, Ronaldo has won
sixteen trophies, including three consecutive UEFA Champions League
titles and two La Liga titles. Two years ago, Ronaldo won the UEFA Euro
2016 with Portugal.

Addressing Real Madrid's club supporters, Ronaldo wrote, .

This signing makes Ronaldo the most expensive player in the history of
Juventus, as well as for the Italian Serie A league. Previously,
Juventus paid a fee of €90 million to sign Argentine striker Gonzalo
Higuaín from rivals S.S.C. Napoli, a then-Italian record transfer fee.

Ronaldo had signed a five-year contract extension in 2016, which means
he still had three years left.
