‘I’m very happy for Cristiano,’ Mendes told reporters.  ‘Juventus will be his last club and I’m glad he made this decision. With this team he’ll close out his marvellous career. Mendes, who made £10.6million from Ronaldo’s £100m transfer to Italy, added: ‘I thank (Juventus president) Andrea Agnelli in particular for his determination and his willingness to negotiate with Real Madrid.
