Real Madrid are reportedly claiming their gentleman’s agreement with Cristiano Ronaldo has expired, so ask Juventus for €120-130m.
The Bianconeri appear to have reached a deal with the Portuguese superstar, whose agent informed them he could leave for €100m.
Now all that remains is to make the official offer to Los Merengues, but it has been reported that President Florentino Perez is seeking to raise the price.

Now all that remains is to make the official offer to Los Merengues, but it has been reported that President Florentino Perez is seeking to raise the price.
According to this morning’s Gazzetta dello Sport, Madrid believe the discounted price for CR7 only applied up to June 15.
Jorge Mendes, his agent, disagrees, and as this was a gentleman’s agreement and not an official release clause there’s no legal way of forcing Los Merengues to respect it.
Perez is now asking for €120-130m, but Gazzetta believes this is merely posturing, as Perez will not want to keep an unhappy Ronaldo.
If the deal does go ahead, Gonzalo Higuain and Daniele Rugani could be sold to Chelsea to cover the €100m transfer fee.
Ronaldo’s €30m per season wages are expected to be covered by sponsorships from parent company Exor, with rumours CR7 will be the global face of Ferrari.
