Ronaldo's €100m move no guarantee of success for Juventus - De Rossi

Cristiano Ronaldo may be on the verge of becoming a €100 million (£88m/$117m) addition at Juventus but success is not guaranteed for the Bianconeri, says Roma rival Daniele De Rossi.

A dominant force in Italian football is set to complete the stunning signing of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner on Monday, with the 33-year-old superstar in Turin to undergo a medical.

Juve have already captured seven successive Serie A titles and the expectation is that Ronaldo will make them even stronger domestically, while also helping them to challenge for Champions League honours.

De Rossi has, however, warned those at the Allianz Stadium that nothing will be handed to them just because they have acquired an all-time great, with Ronaldo needing to settle in new surroundings before top prizes are given out.
