Juventus are set to sell not one but two players to fund the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, 33, is reportedly on the verge of leaving Real Madrid for Juventus. He's expected to sign a four-year contract worth £26.5 million a season.

It's believed Juventus will table an £88 million offer to lure Ronaldo away from the Spanish capital.

And in order to raise those funds, Juventus will offload two players to Chelsea in the shape of Gonzalo Higuain and Daniele Rugani according to Mirror.

Higuain has been subject to intense transfer speculation with Chelsea in pole position to acquire his services ahead of the new season.

The Argentine striker arrived at Juventus in 2016 from fellow Serie A side Napoli. He chipped in with 24 league goals in his debut campaign, before netting 16 goals last season.

Rugani, meanwhile, is also set to be offered to Chelsea.

The Italian defender will reportedly follow Higuain to Stamford Bridge.

Confusion still surrounds Chelsea's managerial hot-seat. It remains to be seen whether Maurizio Sarri replaces Antonio Conte whose future has been under mounting scrutiny for failing to deliver Champions League football.

However, Conte did steer his side to FA Cup glory against Manchester United.

Will Sarri reunite with Higuain in West London? Watch this space.
