England are on the verge of reaching the 2018 World Cup final, we've experiencing a heatwave like no other here in the UK and now Cristiano Ronaldo has secured a big money move to Italian champions Juventus. What next?!
It was announced on Tuesday afternoon that the five-time Balon d'Or winner will earn €30 million a year in Turin and in the meanwhile, has penned a four-year deal worth a whopping €120 million.
That's right. The 33-year-old will pocket £26,545,154 a year at Juventus, which equates to £2,212,096 per month.
If you break that down into weekly, daily and hourly rates, it just proves that despite his age he is still worth a huge amount.
