Cristiano Ronaldo’s €100 million (£90m/$117m) move to Juventus has been questioned by the club’s former managing director, with Luciano Moggi claiming he would “never have spent such a high fee on a 33-year-old”.
The Portuguese superstar was taken to Turin over the summer after nine record-breaking years at Spanish giants Real Madrid.
His capture was considered to be quite a coup for the Bianconeri, even when taking his advancing years into account.
Moggi concedes that Ronaldo’s commercial appeal makes him an obvious asset for Juve, but he is not convinced about the sporting logic of bringing in the five-time Ballond d’Or winner and parting with Gonzalo Higuain.
