The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo towards Turin to wear the Juventus jersey has shaken the football world's current events. The current Ballon d'Or, who leaves 100M€ in the savings of a Real Madrid where he has made history, disembarks in the Vecchia Signora with the intention of giving the necessary quality jump to the Italian squad that allows him to win the Champions League after losing two continental finals in recent years.
This is not the first signing in which Juventus has invested a significant amount this summer. Only a few days ago - also through Jorge Mendes' mediation - the Serie A champion paid nothing less than 40M€ to close the incorporation of Portuguese full-back Joao Cancelo from Valencia after his time at Inter Milan last season.
In order to balance the accounts between expenses and income, Vecchia Signora has planned two departures that it expects to close in the coming days. If this happens - something seen as very likely in Italy - these two sales would represent an income of 100M€, precisely the same amount that was paid for Cristiano Ronaldo. These two departures would have as their destination a Chelsea where they would be under the orders of Mauricio Sarri.
The first one is the departure of forward Gonzalo Higuaín. The Argentine international, the most expensive signing in Juventus history until CR7's arrival, notably decreased his performance during the last season, which could open the door for his departure. His arrival at Stamford Bridge would be closed at 60M€. Alongside the striker, a defender would also arrive. Specifically, Daniele Rugani (23), who after playing 22 Serie A matches (2 goals) last season, would be involved in an operation valued at 40M€.
