What's up what is behind Cristiano Ronaldo? And what does all this mean for Real Madrid?
The Portuguese superstar is on his way to Juventus for a £ 105m movement, with the Turin club and Real Madrid confirming that they have reached an agreement for his transfer. , we answer the key questions surrounding the move with the expert of Spanish football from Sky Sports, Guillem Balague.
Why does Ronaldo want to leave?
Finally, he does not feel wanted enough. Ronaldo spent nine scintillating seasons with Madrid and won his fourth Champions League trophy in five years a few weeks ago, but he has a complicated relationship with club president Florentino Perez
. ] Sky Sports in the Friday episode of the podcast Transfer Talk . "Juventus is happy to pay him 30 million net euros a year, he would win the same thing if he signed a new contract at Real Madrid, but he felt that it was not not wanted.
"The background is that a year ago, Perez said that he was going to raise Ronaldo's wages. Cristiano was waiting for an offer and, in the meantime, Lionel Messi was getting a new contract with a net value of 41 M € per year, Neymar earned 35 M € net per year and only earned 21 M € net per year.
When Cristiano won the Golden Ball, Perez said that if Neymar wanted to win the Golden Ball, he had to go to Real Madrid, but Cristiano did not like to have them. At first, he felt that Real Madrid was not doing enough to try to keep it.
"All this is very confusing, he wants to leave but at the same time he wants to be arrested." Whatever it is, Real Madrid is happy to let him go, but they want him to say publicly that he leaves, so the finger of the fault goes to him and they can give him a spectacular start. "
How can Juventus offer him?
Balague estimates that the total cost of the transfer, including all fees and wages over the proposed four year contract, would rise to more than 400 million euros.
"It is clear that financial fair play will play an important role here, which means that they will have to be very cautious, but Real Madrid thinks that Juventus has solved this problem."
"I think in the last 48 hours [amid the Ronaldo speculation] the value of Juventus on the stock market has increased by 20%. they want it. "
Juventus, however, will have to sell yers to balance the books.A player who has already been tied to an exit is Gonzalo Higuain, who would be a target for Chelsea

Can Ronaldo continue to win at Juventus?
Ronaldo would be confident of To add to its extensive collection of trophies at Juventus.The old lady is totally dominant in Italian football after winning seven consecutive titles in Serie A and four consecutive doubles in league and cup.
They are also a eur force Juventus has not won the Champions League since the 1995/96 season, but they have reached two finals in the last five years. With Ronaldo on their side instead of getting in their way, they would like to have a chance to get better.
After 450 goals in 438 appearances – including 44 in 44 last season – the departure of Ronaldo leaves a gaping hole at Real Madrid. "How Florentino is not stupid, so he lets Cristiano go, that's because something is happening," said Balague
But if Real Madrid is certain to bend his finances when Ronaldo leaves, he will not be able to get his money back. acquiring a new Galactico will not be easy. It was said to Julen Lopetegui that there would be five new players, but I do not see Galactico available, "Balague says.
"The plan that was designed in recent months was that Real Madrid's attack would be Neymar. Marco Asensio and Cristiano, but the PSG says that there is no way to let go Neymar We will see now, with more money and more pressure, how is it going, but the PSG said that there was absolutely no way for Neymar "
Real Madrid has also been linked to Neymar's PSG team His teammate Kylian Mbappe, with Eden Hazard as a target, but Balague says that Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski could be out of reach.
"I know Harry Kane will be tied to Real Madrid but I think he'll stay in Spurs with his new contract and so on," Balague said. "Lewandowski desperately trying to leave Bayern Munich but they do not want to let him go, so it's not p As easy as it may sound for Real Madrid. "
What would that mean for Gareth Bale? The idea was to sell Bale but now everything is changing, "said Balague." It could turn into a new Galactico. "
" Ronaldo is one of the best players in history and Bale has not reached this level yet, but what will happen is that without Ronaldo, Basel will grow. Gareth Bale was the hero of the final of the Champions League ” itemprop=”image”/>

"From the outset of Zidane, there was a sigh of relief from Bale, to the point that the conversations"
"Now they will take place after Bale met Lopetegui and began the pre- season, at that time, we will understand better what Real Madrid will look like, but right away We have Bale and Asensio, two people who can give so much more and make them competitive.
"Ronaldo was the guy who pushed things to another level when things have hardened, so whoever else will have to fill that gap.
