The toast of discord. He has not put on the bianconera shirt yet. In fact, he has not even arrived in Turin, but Cristiano Ronaldo has already encountered his first problem with Juventus. However, this time he had nothing to do with it. The president of the Italian club, Andrea Agnelli, had his first disagreement with the Portuguese agent, Jorge Mendes... over a toast!
The problem is not sports related, at least not yet. It is more of a festive problem, so to speak. After closing Cristiano's transfer to Juventus, after nine years at Real Madrid, a photo was released in which the agent, the president of Juve, and of course the Portuguese footballer, toast to the closed transaction. The image, of course, quickly went viral.

The discussion arises because Agnelli did not want the photo to be revealed, even though it was already known that the bianconeri president was in Costa Navarino, Greece to close the deal. He allegedly reproached Mendes for the Cristiano's surroundings making it viral.
Without a stellar presentation
On the other hand, Juventus announced on Thursday that Cristiano will be presented privately, only in front of the press, following the usual agenda. The former Real Madrid player will undergo medical examinations at J-Medical on Monday, and then hold his first press conference as a bianconero player at the new Continassa sports city.
