Cristiano Ronaldo will continue to ply his trade in Europe as he's reportedly set to join Juventus.

That's despite being offered an astronomical deal from outside of Europe.

The 33-year-old appears to be calling time on his illustrious career at Real Madrid by signing for Juventus, in a transfer worth £88 million.

He's expected to put pen-to-paper on a contract which will see him earn a reported £26.5 million a season.

However, reports surfacing from Spain suggest Ronaldo has turned down the advances from China who have proposed an extremely lucrative wage packet.

According to Spanish outlet Marca, an unnamed Chinese Super League side tabled a contract worth 100 million euros a season for two years.

The report claims the offer was made to his agent Jorge Mendes in December 2017.

A host of players have ditched Europe for the Far East including Hulk, and, more recently, Jose Fonte, Yannick Carrasco as well as Nicolas Gaitan, to name but a few.

But Ronaldo won't be venturing to Asia as he looks to join Juventus.

A decision to head to Italy proves that he's not necessarily motivated by money, and is hellbent on plying his trade in one of Europe's major leagues.

Despite being in his early thirties, Ronaldo is showing no signs of slowing down as he continues to perform heroically, scoring goals at a staggering rate.
