Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo said on Saturday that he is happy to have signed for the Italian club.
Ronaldo, who moved on a €100 million transfer last month, is set to appear in Sunday’s traditional preseason match against Juve’s B team at Villar Perosa.
Speaking to a pre-match press conference, Ronaldo said that Juventus is a great club. “Ever since I was a child, I knew about this club. I had hoped that one day I would represent it and here we are,” he said.

The 33-year-old added that there was not a particular reason why he joined Juventus, however, the fans’ appreciation for quality football was one of the many.
In UEFA Champions League 2017-18, Juventus fans applauded Cristiano for an overhead strike against the home team.
