The biggest deal of the transfer window saw Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo swap Real Madrid for Juventus this summer.

After spending nine memorable years at the Santiago Bernabeu and inspiring Los Blancos to claim their third consecutive Champions League triumph last season, the attacker decided to take on another challenge in his career by completing a famous swoop to the Serie A.

Having proved his incredible ability in both the Premier League and LaLiga, the Portuguese is on a mission to conquer the Italian league as well. However, that will not be an easy task as the Serie A represents a very huge challenge for the 5 time Ballon d'Or winner at this stage of his career.

As a matter of fact, the Italian league is well known to be one of the toughest divisions in Europe at the moment. Although this does not mean the talented winger cannot succeed in the Serie A, he will definitely need adequate support in order to establish himself in the division.

Therefore, we take a look at 3 superstars who can help him reach his best in the Italian top flight this season.


#3 Alex Sandro

Alex Sandro will help in fetching the ball from deep and link up with the attackers up front

Brazilian International, Alex Sandro is one of the few superstars who could help Cristiano Ronaldo quickly establish himself at the Allianz Stadium this season - and the duo could actually strike a decent relationship during the campaign.

With Ronaldo likely to occupy his favorite position on the left flank of Juventus' attack, the Portuguese would need someone to fetch the ball from deep and deliver it to him upfront, the Brazilian would be a perfect fit for that role.

Known for his incredible pace and the ability to push the ball forward, Alex Sandro could run riot alongside the 5 time Ballon d'Or winner this season. His decent linkup and creativity could actually stimulate the former Real Madrid superstar during the campaign.

#2 Blaise Matuidi

Following the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus this season, all his teammates will be keen to help him establish himself in the Italian top flight. However, only a few of them can actually match the support former Paris Saint Germain superstar Blaise Matuidi could render.

Featuring as a midfielder right behind the Portuguese winger, Matuidi will take on the responsibility of establishing a direct relationship with the attacker, creating chances for him to score as well as making sure he feels comfortable on the pitch

With his ability to win back the ball, transition play from one area of the pitch to the other, and link up perfectly with his teammates, Matuidi will also ensure that Ronaldo does not become deserted - enabling him to remain connected and contribute in building up plays.

#1 Miralem Pjanic

It is true that Cristiano Ronaldo needs adequate support in order to establish himself in the Serie A, and the Portuguese will definitely get it at the Allianz Stadium this season. Another superstar who can help him achieve success in the Italian league this term is Bosnian International Miralem Pjanic.

One of the finest midfielders in the division at the moment, there is no doubt Miralem Pjanic will play a huge role in the attacker's development at Juventus this season. As the main middleman on the team, Ronaldo will definitely need him to carry him along during the campaign.

With his ability to split opposition defenses apart by sending killer passes into the box, the midfielder will help in creating chances for the 5 time Ballon d'Or winner to continue with his incredible goal scoring run.
