'Ronaldo, Higuain could be fantastic together at Juventus'

Cristiano Ronaldo has been heavily linked to a move away from Real Madrid to join the Serie A giants Juventus and Ronaldo’s potential arrival at Juventus would be welcomed by the club’s star striker Gonzalo Higuain, according to the striker’s sibling and agent Nicolas.

Portugal and Real Madrid ace forward Cristiano Ronaldo is speculated to make a move to the Serie A giants Juventus after his nine-year stint at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Spanish sports newspaper Marca reported Tuesday Juventus is willing to offer Ronaldo a four-year contract worth €30 million (£26.5 million/$35 million) per season. That figure dwarfs the salary of Juventus’ current top earner, Gonzola Higuain, whom the club pays €7.5 million (£6.6 million/$8.7 million) annually.

And although Ronaldo’s hypothetical arrival at the Serie A champions could threaten Higuain’s place up front, his sibling Nicolas is positive there would be no issues, according to a report from Goal.com.

“We don't know anything yet. He was team-mates with Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid, but they haven't spoken about it,” Nicolas Higuain told Sky Sport Italia .

“It would be fantastic obviously, especially if he made a strike partnership with Gonzalo.

“They know each other so well, as they played about 80 games together. If Juve can do it, this will be fantastic, just spectacular. It's hardly new for them to work together.”

Ronaldo and Higuain played together at Madrid between 2009 and 2013, before the Argentinean moved onto Napoli, where his scintillating form earned him a switch to Turin.
