There’s been another big player move in the sports world that affects Philadelphia. But this time, it could be a good thing for local fans.
Global soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo changed clubs on Tuesday, as Spain’s Real Madrid sold him to Italy’s Juventus for a $131.6 million transfer fee. The deal takes the Portugal native from one giant team to another: Real has won three straight UEFA Champions League titles and four of the last five, while Juventus has 34 Italian league titles and two European Cups.
It could also bring him to Philadelphia later this month.
