Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival from Real Madrid has been hailed by Mattia Caldara as a stimulus for the Serie A champions. Ronaldo signed a four-year deal with Juve to complete a deal worth €112million, ending a trophy-laden nine years in LaLiga. The Portugal captain will now have a chance to add to the English and Spanish league titles he has already won, with Juventus hunting an eighth consecutive Scudetto. And Caldara, who joins Juve for the 2018-19 term after spending last season on loan at Atalanta, is thrilled he will be lining up with Ronaldo.
“It will be a big stimulus to have Cristiano Ronaldo in the squad,” Caldara told reporters.
“I’m curious to see how he constantly remains at the top level and to see what keeps him going.
“There’s a lot of enthusiasm for Ronaldo, it’s been a long time since a player like him came to Italy and I’m very excited to play alongside him.”
