Mancheater United have reached an agreement with Juventus to re-sign five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Red Devils will pay an initial fee of €25million (£21.4m) to the Turing giants for the 36-year-old on a two-year-deal ending in the summer of 2023.
Confriming the new, United said they are “delighted to confirm that the club has reached agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, subject to agreement of personal terms, visa and medical.
“Everyone at the club looks forward to welcoming Cristiano back to Manchester.”
Uk Metro reports that Further add-ons in the deal could take it to a total value of €28m (£24m), though the fee still represents a massive bargain for a player who netted 29 goals in Serie A last season – five more than Romelu Lukaku, who cost Chelsea £97.5m.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the €28m fee is how much Juventus still owe Real Madrid from Ronaldo’s €100m transfer in 2018, with United effectively agreeing to pay off the remainder of their debt.
Personal terms are not expected to be a problem and Ronaldo is set to undergo a medical in Lisbon, where he flew from Turin on Friday.
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, has so far won over 30 major trophies during his career, including five UEFA Champions League titles, four FIFA Club World Cups, seven league titles in England, Spain and Italy, and the European Championship for his native Portugal.
In his first spell for Manchester United, he scored 118 goals in 292 games.
