Ronaldo transfer reports sends Juventus share prices soaring

News that Cristiano Ronaldo is close to a sensational move to Juventus sent share prices at the Italian club through the roof on Thursday.

Goal understands that the Real Madrid star has agreed a lucrative four-year contract with the Serie A champions , although the two clubs are still to strike a deal over a transfer.

The move would see the 33-year-old pocket €30 million (£26.5m/$35m) per season until 2022, when he would be 37.

And the reports had an immediate effect on the Italian stock market, where Juve shares received a healthy bounce.
