Former Juventus striker Alvaro Morata admits he “didn’t believe” Cristiano Ronaldo would join the club, until a director told him it was happening.
The Portuguese superstar left Real Madrid this summer in a €100m deal which shocked the football world.
“The truth is that I didn’t believe it, I thought he was going to renew,” Morata admitted, speaking to Cadena Ser.
“That was until I spoke to a Juventus director, I met him and he said: ‘do you know who is coming to Juventus?’.

“That was until I spoke to a Juventus director, I met him and he said: ‘do you know who is coming to Juventus?’.
“I didn’t believe it, they told me before it happened. My parents said it was impossible, but I knew it even before the World Cup!
“At least he left Madrid to go to another spectacular club. He’ll be fine, Juve is similar to Real Madrid – they’re two great clubs.
“In recent years when I was there, Juve was the best tactical team around. Then when Cristiano starts scoring…
“Every year they say he won’t score and then he gets 50. They’re one of the most dangerous teams, but not just because of CR7.”
