Juventus are so convinced they have won the race to sign Cristiano Ronaldo they have already decided to hand him the No.7 jersey, according to reports in Italy.
The 33-year-old looks set to leave Real Madrid after the club’s president, Florentino Perez, met with Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, and sanctioned his sale if their £88million asking price is met.
Juve are already putting together their offer and intend to make Ronaldo the highest-paid player in Italy with a £26.5m-a-season, four-year deal.

And now Sport Mediaset report that talks are so far advanced that the club have already sought Juan Cuadrado’s approval to remove the Colombian of the No.7 shirt and hand it to Ronaldo instead.
The Portuguese superstar has been synonymous with the number throughout his nine years at Real, even creating a ‘CR7’ brand and clothing range.
