Cristiano Ronaldo arrives in Turin with girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez ahead of Juventus unveiling
Posted Monday, July 16, 2018 by Thesun.co.uk
CRISTIANO RONALDO has landed in Turin with girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez ahead of the party to celebrate his £99million Juventus move on Monday.
The Portugal legend quit Real Madrid for the Old Lady and will be unveiled once the dust settles on the incredible World Cup final, to ensure all eyes are on him.
Cristiano Ronaldo gave the thumbs-up as he landed in Italy with his girlfriend
CR7 landed in Italy on a private jet, kitted out in his sponsored gear before being raced away to his new surroundings.
Son Cristiano Jr was part of his entourage as they piled in to the Turin-Caselle Airport on Sunday before being whisked away in a Trump-esque cavalcade.
Thousands of Juve fans are expected to pain Turin and the Allianz Stadium black and white for the arrival of the perma-tanned goal machine.
The 33-year-old will earn a mammoth £500,000-a-week during his four-year contract, with sponsors Fiat agreeing to help out with his wages.
Fiat workers are fuming the company is shelling out for the ex-Manchester United man instead of boosting their wages.
But Juve fans are loving all the excitement and have been decking themselves out in CR7 kit and merchandise already.
And he is already on their backs too - as Juventus have raked in HALF his £99million transfer fee by selling 500,000 of his shirts in ONE DAY.
Juventus fans in their thousands have been buying Cristiano Ronaldo shirts
The Real Madrid legend, 33, is on £500,000-a-week - one pound for every 'Ronaldo 7' top Juve have reportedly sold via their website.
Yahoo Italia claim that figure is on top of 20,00 orders for the same shirt made on the Adidas site - and with the shirt costing €104 (£92), almost half of Ronaldo's fee has been recouped.
Ronaldo posted farewell photos with family and friends as he swaps Spanish giants Real for a side who have won Serie A seven years running.
The former Manchester United attacker jetted to Greek peninsula Peloponnese this month with girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and son Cristiano Jr to relax and recover from the disappointment of only making the World Cup last 16.
Juventus president Andrea Agnelli flew out to see him during the holiday to persuade the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to join The Old Lady.
It is thought Juve boss Max Allegri then discussed the move with Ronaldo on the phone last Friday.
He leaves Real after hitting 450 goals in nine years, winning the Champions League four times and La Liga twice.
