Mario Mandzukic Gives The Most Brutal Response When Asked About Cristiano Ronaldo Signing

No messing.

Cristiano Ronaldo's recent departure from Real Madrid to Juventus might just be one of the biggest signings of the 21st century, but Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic is clearly so focused on the World Cup final with Croatia to not give a damn.

Juventus forked out £99.3 million for the 33-year old and on Tuesday afternoon and it was officially announced that that the five-time Ballon d'Or had penned a four-year contract with the Bianconeri.

The terms? he will earn a tasty €30 million a year in Turin.

It is believed that Ronaldo will presented as a player on Monday as the outcome of the World Cup final between Croatia and France will be revealed just 24 hours before, so how does Mandzukic actually feel about the 33-year-old's imminent arrival?

When asked his opinion on the massive transfer, he simply said: "I don't care about that."

That's right. Mario Mandzukic doesn't care about one of the greatest players of all time joining his club. He could have said a simple "yeah it's huge for the team" but no. The World Cup is on, lads.

I think 99.999% of others associated with Juventus will be much more enthusiastic about Ronaldo's arrival in Turin and the club are already cashing in on his global appeal.

Yahoo Sport in Italy say that in just 24 hours of Ronaldo being announced as a Juventus player and CR7 shirts hitting stores, an incredible 520,000 shirts were sold either online or in-store.

What's more, these Adidas replica shirts are costing a reported €105 euros a pop and so if you do a bit of multiplication, you'll see that it's a shitload of cash made.

But still, Mario doesn't care.
