Modric: Ronaldo is unique and it’s pity he has left

Madrid are in the market for a marquee signing following Cristiano Ronaldo’s sensational move to Juventus but Lazio aren’t ready to let Milinkovic-Savic go without a fight as the report says they’ll hold out for a fee closer to £132m.

In order to do that, as SPORT revealed earlier, Madrid were planning to make a bid to sign both Hazard and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, an offer big enough to convince Roman Abramovich to sell.

The situation appeared to be resolved last month when the 33-year-old agreed to a suspended jail sentence and a $21.8m fine.

Both Fiat Chrysler (FCA) and Juventus are controlled by Exor, the investment holding of Italy’s Agnelli family, which owns almost 30 percent of the carmaker and 64 percent of the soccer team.

I thank him for everything he did at Real Madrid.

It’s calling for a strike at the Melfi plant in southern Italy from Sunday to Tuesday.

“I congratulate Juventus, its directors and fans”.

“He’ll definitely raise the quality of the team and I hope we can keep winning together. He’ll help others to learn things that only champions like him can do”.

After reaching Juve’s medical centre, Ronaldo signed autographs for some of the waiting crowd.

Mario, 47, from Brescia in Lombardy, got up at 04.30am (10.30am, Singapore time) to be at the stadium in time to see Ronaldo.

A five-time Ballon d’Or victor and Madrid’s all-time leading goalscorer, Ronaldo helped the Spanish giants to a third consecutive Champions League crown last season after netting 44 goals in all competitions.

The Champions League winners had already described reports linking them with the Brazil man, 26, as “outright false” on 2 July.

At a meeting past year Juve president Andrea Agnelli outlined his strategy by saying that he wanted the club – who lag way behind seven-time European champions AC Milan in continental trophies – to become more “pop”, and to point towards people who weren’t classic football fans. “Now he has to repay us with interest”.
