Cristiano Ronaldo in Ectoine against Udinese (AP)
Former Juventus president Giovanni Cobboli Gigli said signing Cristiano Ronaldo was a huge mistake and wants to sell the Portuguese as soon as possible.
Former Juventus president Giovanni Cobboli Gigli believes the Italian giants made a huge mistake by signing five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo. He also wants Juve to sell Ronaldo as soon as possible. In 2018, Juventus signed Ronaldo from La Liga giants Real Madrid for a record fee of £100 million. Juventus signed the Portuguese striker to end their title drought in the UEFA Champions League and it seemed like an ideal option at the time as Ronaldo led Real to three consecutive Champions League titles.
However, Ronaldo has not been able to lead the Turin giants to European glory over the past three years and he is currently in the final year of his contract with Juve. And, with many rumors now about Ronaldo’s possible exit from the Serie A side, Gigli wants Juve to go through with the deal as he believes it will be for the betterment of the club.
“I’ve always been honest: Signing Ronaldo was a mistake,” Gigli told Serie A News. He also emphasized that Juve will no longer be able to “recoup the investment” made in signing the CR7 and that is not going to change.
Gigli also said that Ronaldo is a great player but his departure will benefit Juventus a lot. “I hope Massimiliano Allegri knows how to continue to use him like he did against Udinese. That is, with wit and when the game is on,” he said.
Gigli also said that Ronaldo “disrupts” Juventus’ attack.
Ronaldo is one of the best players on the planet and has scored 101 goals for Juventus over the past three years and his last appearance for the Old Lady was on Sunday, 22 August during their Serie A 2021–22 season against Udinese.
Juventus will take on Empoli in their second Serie A game on Sunday, 29 August.
