'Sampdoria sign Ronaldo!' - Juventus mocked by their Serie A rivals with genius announcement

Juventus have been mocked by Sampdoria after their Serie A rivals landed themselves a Ronaldo of their own.

The Turin giants pulled off the signing of the summer when luring five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo away from Real Madrid in a €100 million (£88m/$117m) deal.

Understandably, that agreement was greeted by plenty of fanfare, with Juve getting the ball rolling on social media.

Their acquisition of Ronaldo was accompanied by a flurry of graphics and videos, with the day he officially became a Bianconeri player becoming #RonaldoDay.

As a brad in his own right, the Portuguese superstar has been an easy sell for Juve as they welcome a global superstar onto their books.
