Juventus are reportedly "95 per cent" confident of securing the surprise transfer of Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to Adrian Kajumba of the Daily Mirror Ronaldo Is Edging Closer to a Switch to the A Giants Series As He Is Unhappy with Life at the Santiago Bernabeu.
"Some sources close to the Turin club misses the odds as high as 95 percent," continued Kajumba. "But they are wary that Ronaldo's super-agent Jorge Mendes is hoping to win an auction kicks off for his biggest client and waiting to see if train club Manchester United or long-time admirers Paris Saint-Germain firm up their interest."
It's added that while Ronaldo's current release clause at the Santiago Bernabeu is € 1 billion, the Italian champions believe they could secure the signing of the Portuguese for € 100 million (£ 88 million).
Juve will reportedly offer Ronaldo an annual salary of £ 26.5 million, an increase on the current £ 18.5 million he takes home every year in the Spanish capital.
As relayed by journalist Arjun Pradeep, Marca has also reported that Ronaldo wants out at Madrid and that Juve is interested in landing the player:

Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to leave Real & it is not because of money. He believes that the club did not treat him well in the details that affected him. His relationship with Pres Perez is broken & Juve are lurking for him.

It still seems unbelievable to me that the figures are being thrown around. If it does happen, it would be the single most important thing to happen to the Serie A in a decade.
Ronaldo joined Los Blancos in 2009 from Manchester United and has gone on to become one of the greatest players in the history of Real Madrid.
The forward is the team's all-time top goalscorer and has been a central figure in Madrid winning four UEFA Champions League titles in the last five years, including the previous three in succession.

However, speculation about Ronaldo's future. he was coy after the Champions League final in Kiev in May when discussing a possible transfer.
"Now it's time to enjoy this," he said, per The Independent . "In the next few days I'll give the fans, who have been by my side, an answer."
As these figures illustrate, on the biggest stage Ronaldo tends to perform at the peak of his powers:

3 – Most goals in a single Champions League season:
1 – Cristiano #Ronaldo 17 goals (2013/14)
2 – Cristiano Ronaldo 16 goals (2015/16)
3 – Cristiano Ronaldo 15 goals (2017/18)Alien.

The Serie A side has a lot of strength in Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala, while they're also dominant in Italy, having won the last seven Serie A titles in succession
Having come up in the Champions League final in the last four seasons, including a loss to Ronaldo's Real in 2014, the Turin club would be hopeful of Ronaldo helping them get over the line in the European Cup for a third time in their history. However, you feel there is plenty of work before this deal comes to fruition.
