Ronaldo would have stayed even if Messi had not gone to PSG-Bonucci
Messi's transfer to PSG is expected to be official soon, and many believe that the Argentine star's joining the Parisian club has closed the transfer route for Cristiano Ronaldo, but Leonardo Bonucci believes that the Portuguese star will stay in Turin, regardless of the decision of others.
Bonucci
told Gazzetta dello Sport:
"I think that Cristiano Ronaldo would have stayed even if Messi had not gone to PSG
.
"For us, it’s an added value and I’m sure that this year, more than in past years, he will help us reach all of our goals."
While Juventus have been able to maintain
Ronaldo
's services, it has been difficult to bring in new faces. The club is still in talks with
Kaio Jorge
and
Locatelli
, and there is a possibility that
Miralem Pjanic
will return from Barcelona.
On a possible return by the Bosnian midfielder, Bonucci said
: "We spoke, but not about the transfer market. We spoke as friends, not as former team-mates
.
"He’s a great player, if he comes back, he would certainly be an important player for the group and for the team."
