Ronaldo Would’ve Been An Added Value To Juventus – Chiellini

Juventus defender, Giorgio Chiellini has come out to say that the club is paying for the shock of allowing Ronaldo leave late in the summer transfer window. He recently revealed that Juventus would’ve been better off letting the Portuguese go earlier in the window.

According to him, Juventus were already set up to play for the ex-Real Madrid striker and aid his scoring of more goals for the club, but the plan failed to materialize after his exit.

Chiellini added that if Ronaldo had stayed, he definitely would have been an added value to the Italian club.

His words, “We had arrived at a point in our relationship where Cristiano needed new goals and a team that would play for him, because when he finds a team like that he is decisive. He is proving it in these months and he has also shown it with us.”

“Here at Juventus, a programme of rejuvenation and restarting was born. If Ronaldo had stayed, he would have been an added value, but it is normal that he thought more about the present than the future.”

“Ronaldo left on August 28, it would have been better for us if he had left earlier. We paid something for it, a little bit of a shock, we paid something for it in terms of points. If he had left earlier we would have had time to prepare better.”
