Cristiano Ronaldo would like to play with Marcelo at Juventus

With Marco Asensio, Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez all being linked to Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo has now voiced his opinion on which Real Madrid star he would want to join hands with at Juventus.

Ronaldo, talking to Gazzetta dello Sport, said,

“I see you write about James, Bale, Asensio but if I'm honest, Juventus do not need other players.

“You must talk to the president. On the future, I do not know.

“Marcelo is strong, we open the doors to good players and Marcelo is one of them.”

Ronaldo and Marcelo are close friends and the Brazilian has been constantly linked with a move to Juventus and is widely tipped to follow his friend to Turin. Marcelo is currently injured and sidelined as Real Madrid sit 5 points off the top in LaLiga.
