Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi admits it would be “great” if Cristiano Ronaldo makes a shock move to the Italian champions.
The Bianconeri are understood to be increasingly confident of signing the Real Madrid superstar this summer.
Juve are working on a transfer package in the region of £88million to take the Portuguese superstar to Turin.
Ronaldo, 33, is said to be ready to accept an eye-watering £26.5million-a-year deal after the deal was floated during a recent meeting between Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, and Juve chiefs Fabio Paretic and Beppe Marotta.

Juve are desperate to win the Champions League, having reached two finals in the last four years, and believe Ronaldo can make a crucial difference.
Now French international Matuidi, speaking while on World Cup duty, has had his say on Ronaldo’s potential arrival.
"I'm not going to lie it would be just great," he said.

"It would be great to have one of the best players in the world with Juventus in the same club that I am.
"It would be great for the club and for the Juventus players.
"However, today I'm a player of the French national team and we have bigger fish to fry, no?"
Matuidi, who joined Juve from PSG last summer, is set to start for Les Bleus in their World Cup quarter-final on Friday.
