Patrice Evra advised Cristiano Ronaldo to quit Real Madrid for Juventus. “There is no other team he must join. It’s a sacrifice, because they work HARD.”
There are multiple reports a deal is done for €100m, as the Ballon d’Or winner wants to prove he can win the Champions League in Turin at the age of 33.
Former Juve and Manchester United full-back Evra was doing a live Instagram video when he spoke on the situation.

There are multiple reports a deal is done for €100m, as the Ballon d’Or winner wants to prove he can win the Champions League in Turin at the age of 33.
Former Juve and Manchester United full-back Evra was doing a live Instagram video when he spoke on the situation.
“Everyone asks me, Pat, what do you think? I haven’t spoken to Cristiano about this, but my advice is, if he wants to play to 2050, he has to go to Juve. There is no other team he must join. It’s simple.
“I thank Juve, because if after Manchester I continued to win and to run, it was thanks to Juve. You should never spit on the plate that fed you, so Juve will always be in my heart.”
At this stage, Evra flung his head back and started singing the club anthem at full voice.
“So Cristiano, I tell you this: make the right choice. You know how much the Italians love you, but it’s a sacrifice. If you go to Juve, it’s to work and to work HARD. This lot, ha, don’t know what a vacation is.
“But that’s the choice. Either you want to continue playing to 2050 or just carry on for a bit. I can tell you this. If you go to Juve, you’ll be at the next World Cup not as a mascot, but as a protagonist. A PROTAGONIST.”
