#2 Cristiano Ronaldo didn't ask Sergio Ramos to sign for Juventus

Ramos clarified that Ronaldo never asked him to join Juventus

Cristiano Ronaldo did not ask Sergio Ramos to sign for Juventus, contrary to popular belief. The Spaniard's future was in doubt at the end of last season and there was also talks that he was offered a chance to link up with his former teammate Ronaldo in Turin. However, Ramos squashed all those rumours when he declared his intentions to stay at Real Madrid beyond the summer. It was thought that Ronaldo himself had asked Ramos to join him at Juventus, but the Real Madrid skipper has now denied those rumours.

Speaking in an interview with SportMediaSet, the Spaniard revealed that Ronaldo had never asked him to move to Turin.

"With Cristiano Ronaldo I always had a great relationship. But I continued with Real Madrid, the market rumors- let's leave them aside. Has CR7 called me to Juventus? No, no."

That should be enough to convince the fans that Ramos is not joining Juventus this summer.
