Juventus veteran says Ronaldo left at the wrong time

DBasia.news – Juventus veteran, Giorgio Chiellini, commented on Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure to Manchester United last summer. According to Chiellini, Ronaldo left at the wrong moment.

The transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed protracted. In fact, Ronaldo has asked not to strengthen Juve at the beginning of the season in order to speed up the process of his move.

Finally, Ronaldo headed to Manchester United ahead of the close of the transfer market or rather on August 28. After the star’s departure, Juve stumbled.

“I already knew he could leave this summer because we reached a stage of the working relationship where Ronaldo needed new motivation and a team that would play for him,” Chiellini told DAZN.

“When you find a team like that, he can always be decisive, as was the case at Juventus. Juve started the renewal process and tried to lower the average age. So obviously it would be an added bonus if he stayed. focus on the present rather than the future.”

Juventus rushed to find a replacement for Ronaldo by bringing back Moise Kean from Everton. However, so far, no player has been able to patch the hole left by Ronaldo.

“Ronaldo left on August 28 and of course it would have been better if he left earlier so we could prepare. Unfortunately, we paid a lot for that,” added Chiellini.

“It did create a shock to the system and we dropped points in the opening game because of that. If Ronaldo leaves on August 1, we have time to reset and prepare for the start of the season.”
