Juventus plan to land ‘the new Cristiano Ronaldo’ while tipping the original for Ballon d’Or success

Andrea Agnelli has been discussing the Bianconeri’s current standing, while backing a Portuguese superstar on their books to land a sixth Golden Ball

Juventus are already piecing together plans to land “the new Cristiano Ronaldo”, while club chairman Andrea Agnelli believes the original would be a deserving winner of the 2019 Ballon d’Or.

The Bianconeri are looking to raise €300 million (£259m/$333m) through an increase in share capital, allowing them to remain competitive on and off the field at home and abroad.

Part of their ambitious plan for the future includes further investment in the playing staff, with the Serie A champions having shown that they can entice the world’s best players to Italy.
