The Portuguese striker who joined Serie A champions Juventus in a shock £100million move last summer from Real Madrid is now calling on Lionel Messi to join him in Italy instead of ending his career with Barcelona.
When asked by Gazzetta in an interview if he missed Messi, Ronaldo said: “No, maybe he misses me. I played in England, Spain, Italy, Portugal, in the national team, while he is still in Spain.
