Portugal superstar Ronaldo spoke about the club in the past tense after that game when he said: “We will talk in the future. It’s been really beautiful to play for Real Madrid. I’ll give a response in the coming days.”
Meanwhile, Juve midfielder Blaise Matuidi would relish the chance to work with “one of the best players in the world” if Ronaldo were to join Juventus — although he is focusing on France’s World Cup bid.
Matuidi, who was on media duties in Russia today ahead of Friday’s quarter-final tie with Uruguay, was quizzed on the possibility of playing with the ex-Sporting and Manchester United man at the Allianz Stadium next season.
I’m not going to lie it would be just great,” he said. “It would be great to have one of the best players in the world with Juventus in the same club that I am.
“It would be great for the club and for the Juventus players. However, today I’m a player of the French national team and we have bigger fish to fry, no?”

Speculation mounting that Juventus will bid €120m for Ronaldo
SERIE A CHAMPIONS Juventus are reportedly preparing a lucrative €120 million bid for Cristiano Ronaldo, with a salary package of €30m-a-year.
The 33-year-old’s future at Real Madrid has been shrouded in doubt ever since Los Blancos defeated Liverpool 3-1 to win a third straight Champions League in May.
Portugal superstar Ronaldo spoke about the club in the past tense after that game when he said: “We will talk in the future. It’s been really beautiful to play for Real Madrid. I’ll give a response in the coming days.”
Real Madrid themselves have been linked with a €272m move for French teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe, although they have released a statement denying reports regarding the PSG star.
Meanwhile, Juve midfielder Blaise Matuidi would relish the chance to work with “one of the best players in the world” if Ronaldo were to join Juventus — although he is focusing on France’s World Cup bid.
