Real Madrid will reportedly let Cristiano Ronaldo join Juventus – on one condition.
The Portuguese superstar is the subject of an £88million bid from the Serie A champions and has reportedly already agreed terms.
But according to the Spanish press, Real Madrid will insist that the player himself makes it clear he wants to leave.
The club do not want to be blamed for his departure after nine trophy-laden years in the Spanish capital.
They expect Ronaldo to hold a press conference during which he will declare his desire to seek a fresh challenge in Italy.
The 33-year-old has won four Champions League trophies since joining the club from Manchester United in 2009.
