The Juventus expects that mendes confirm that there are 100 million to present the offer

The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid and his presumable landing in Turin has now entered its decisive phase. After the conversations held by the player's agent, Jorge Mendes, with the general manager of the white team, José Ángel Sánchez, the last and final step would be the formal presentation, by Juventus, of the firm offer by the Portuguese footballer Although this operation, of enormous economic importance, has been studied and worked for quite some time in secret in the office of Andrea Agnelli, the highest representative of the Turin club now awaits the definitive confirmation by Mendes that the starting price of the player are 100 million euros to undertake the hiring. Agnelli, in close collaboration with the club's main shareholders - including the powerful FIAT - concluded that the operation was viable and profitable for that amount.

Agnelli not only has the obvious football contribution and the leap of quality that Cristiano can give to his team, but he is also aware that he signs an 'international brand' that will expand all over the world the image of Juventus, with the important economic return That this entails. The shocking rise of the club in the stock market as soon as the plan was unveiled is a strong example. The president of Turin himself has spoken on several occasions with the Portuguese star to personally know his availability and has the word of the player to call on his team.

Yesterday, from Real Madrid they insisted officially that the signed clause is 1,000 million euros, amount that would abort any possibility, although unofficially in the Santiago Bernabéu they take it for granted the march of CR7. This 'reminder' of the 1,000 million is interpreted as a double intention of Madrid: On the one hand, keep 'the pan for the handle' in the negotiation and even be able to 'scratch' something more than that figure and reach 120 million in the final transfer. On the other, and more importantly, take the reins of communication and that public opinion understands that the white club does not want to part with the player.

In any case, there will be no other movement until the expected offer occurs or Christian press publicly. Yesterday there was an advance in that sense with the words, as a farewell, by Jorge Mendes in Record. Although the outcome could take place shortly, the necessary step is for Agnelli to be sure that the figure is 100. According to Sky Italia, the Turin president expects Jorge Mendes himself to confirm this. Last night, some rumors were aimed at the super-agent moving today to Turin to advance the operation. Other information indicate that it would be the administrator delegated of the Juventus, 'Beppe' Marotta who traveled today to Madrid to resolve the situation.

Meanwhile, in Italy they also claimed that Juventus would present the player this Saturday, making such an extraordinary signing match with the symbolism of the date: 7 of 7, alluding to Cristiano's dorsal. This extreme would imply a dizzying outcome of the case. At the moment, the next step in this 'soap opera' should be the official presentation of the offer. Something that Juve would do as soon as she confirms what is the true price for which Cristiano can leave.
