Cristiano Ronaldo joins Juventus: Italian fans welcome £100m signing to Turin

The Old Lady have won seven Serie A titles on the spin but have not managed to get over the line in the Champions League - twice losing in the final over the last four years.

Bringing in a man in Ronaldo who has won the competition five times and four times in the last five years is a huge move by Juventus - who are now 7/1 third favourites to life the Champions League title next season.

Ronaldo was greeted by a large crowd of cheering fans as he arrived at Juventus' medical centre to complete his move from Real Madrid.

The 33-year-old arrived in Turin by private jet on Sunday after a 112million euro deal (£99.2million) was agreed last week.

Chants of 'Ronaldo' and 'Cristiano' could be heard from the Juve supporters as the Portugal forward emerged from a building dressed in a suit.

Serie A champions Juve will pay 100million euros (£91m) to Real over two financial years and "additional costs" of 12million euros (£10.8m).
