Cristiano Ronaldo ‘helping Juventus with transfers this summer’ as he and family fly home from Greece holiday
CRISTIANO RONALDO is said to be helping Juventus with their transfers this summer - as he and his family fly home from a well-earned holiday in Greece.
The Portuguese star, 34, is taking on something of an unofficial sporting director role, as he puts in calls regarding the signing of new players, claim .
Ronaldo is thought to be chasing old team-mates Marcelo and James Rodriguez regarding a move to Juve this summer.
Meanwhile, he was also seen chatting with sought-after Ajax sensation Matthijs De Ligt at the Nations League final.
Portugal captain Ronaldo was seen having a word with the £60million-rated young Holland centre-back following his side's 1-0 win.
A grinning Ron then ruffled De Ligt's hair and walked off to celebrate with his team-mates.
SARRI LINK
De Ligt, 19, is yet to decide on his next club with the likes of United, Liverpool, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain desperate for his signature.
Such is the lure of Ronaldo, Juventus are thought to be turning to him to convince a host of star names to join him in Italy.
But his duties at Juve had briefly been put on hold, as he and his family enjoyed a sun-soaked trip to Greece.
Ronaldo - along with partner Georgina Rodriguez and his four children - were seen leaving Greece after a week at The Westin Resort in Costa Navarino.
And CR7 will return to a new manager, with Maurizio Sarri leaving Chelsea to join Juventus in a £7million compensation deal.
The 60-year-old signed a two-year contract with the Serie A giants after the two clubs agreed a compensation package to free him from Stamford Bridge.
While Ronaldo may be helping out with transfers, the Italian boss has his own targets in mind - raiding the Blues for personal favourites Jorginho and Emerson.
