Cristiano Ronaldo’s €112 million (£101m/$130m) move from Real Madrid to Juventus is considered to be “odd” by former Bianconeri star Michel Platini.
Despite now being 33 years of age, the Portuguese superstar remains one of the most recognisable and fearsome frontmen in world football.
For that reason, the reigning Serie A champions were prepared to spend big bringing the five-time Ballon d’Or winner onto their books this summer.
Ronaldo’s sporting and commercial appeal remains without question, but Platini was still surprised to see him swap a standing as undoubted team talisman in Madrid for a fresh start in Turin.
