Ronaldo brace earns Madrid win at Eibar

Former Juventus Coach Marcello Lippi expects Cristiano Ronaldo to ‘attract other champions’ to the Italian Serie A holders.

Ronaldo’s proposed transfer to Juve appears to be growing ever closer, and Lippi believes the Real Madrid superstar will let Juventus move up a level.

“There are some intelligent players at Juve, and they know very well that Ronaldo can’t be signed like other players,” he told Radio Anch’io Sport as quoted by Football Espana.

“The economic aspect [of his transfer] becomes the last of the problems. He’ll play at great levels for another 3-4 years, so we must be happy about that.

“If he arrives, he’ll also attract other champions. Where will he play? He’s a forward and has an exceptional success rate in front of goal.”

​​The deal to take Ronaldo away from Spain is yet to be struck but reports say has accepted a contract of €30m per season to join Italian champions.
