Juventus to seal Cristiano Ronaldo deal "in coming hours"

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will clinch a 100-million euro switch to Juventus in a matter of hours, according to the Portuguese daily Record. "A deal is not complete, but an agreement between the parties will be a reality in the coming hours," says Record, which adds that the 33-year-old will pocket an annual salary of 30 million euros at the Turin. Cristiano's mooted switch to Juventus is said to have moved significantly closer yesterday, after Real Madrid president and the player's agent held "emergency talks".
