Zlatan Ibrahimovic Says Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus Move Is 'Not a Challenge'

Former Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has hailed Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Turin as a great transfer for Italian football, but he believes it is not a challenge for the Portugal international.

Ronaldo has described the switch as such, but Ibrahimovic told video streaming service DAZN (h/t Football Italia) he disagrees:

"I didn't say his transfer wasn't great.

"I said that it wasn't a challenge to join Juventus. It's not a challenge to go to one of the best teams in the world.
