Crazy World. The employer, heir to an industrial dynasty, rushes to Greece, the place of residence of a future employee to convince them to work.

Place of the event was Kalamata, Peloponnese port city. The president of the Juve, Andrea Agnelli, had come Tuesday morning from Pisa aboard a private jet. Nearby is the holiday resort, where Ronaldo, brand CR7, spends the holidays after the untimely retirement of the Portuguese team. Agnelli and General Manager Juve Giuseppe Marotta met Ronaldo and his agent Jorge Mendes. Before they could celebrate, they had to wait for the Madrid press release. This was put on line at 17:32.

Accolade for Serie A

The "Gazzetta dello Sport" flight presented a photomontage with Ronaldo in a white and black dress on the site. The transfer marks a hug for Juventus and for Serie A. For quite a long time, only the heroes tracked down, injured, injured and retired had followed Calcio's call. The biggest of them were Carlos Tevez and Sami Khedira. The days when world stars like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Andrei Shevchenko kick the zenith boot of their respective creations have long since disappeared. At best, as a training center, Serie A was internationally recognized. Paul Pogba and Mateo Kovacic, both with their teams in the semifinals of the World Cup, started their international career here

Ronaldo's commitment represents a turnaround and that's why the little Air travel by Fiat-Scion Agnelli is understandable. Juventus takes the next stage of growth. For the crazy transfer market conditions in recent years, Torino executives have not even had to put as much money on the table. At 100 million euros, plus a contribution of 5 million to the Uefa, plus about 7 million euros, according to current estimates, the sum. Larger holes in the budget already suggest compensation. The annual salary is 30 million euros and the contract lasts four years. The Turkish newspaper "La Stampa" estimated the total cost, including bonuses and taxes, to 350 million euros

Gonzalo Higuain victim of the transfer?

Ronaldo must now improve the impact, especially in the Champions League. A double top with Croatian Mario Mandzukic, behind playmaker Paulo Dybala and a three-way midfielder with Miralem Pjanic, Blaise Matuidi and Immigration Emre Can, would be particularly useful. A 4-3-3 striker with Mandzukic, Dybala and Ronaldo is also conceivable.

Striker Gonzalo Higuain is one of the obvious victims of all the changes. His agent and brother Nicolas said: "Gonzalo feels at home with Juve, he has more than three years of contract and wants to accomplish that, both have already played together at Real." But Higuain moved to Italy mainly because He had too little time in Madrid. On the coach Massimiliano Allegri comes balance play tactics.

First show on Monday

Because the coach of Tuscany just in his greatest strengths, but could also work a division of labor between Ronaldo and Higuain work. The Portuguese attracted – in addition to the quarrels in Madrid – especially the respect and affection of fans of Juve in Turin. After his withdrawal in the last season of the Champions League at the Juventus stadium, he was celebrated by the whole stadium with ovations. This may have missed the last one in Madrid. In Turin, a throne is now ready for him. There is nothing better for a big player in the fall of career. A first show is planned for him on Monday. Later, he has to join the American tour – a real dream for the marketing department of Juventus.

Fiat workers were more likely to hear discontent. "We have not raised wages for ten years – and now, those millions for Ronaldo," said a worker at a Fiat factory near Naples, annoyed. They will also carry Fiat-Agnelli germ in the holidays – so that they can afford Greece at all.
