Paratici: ‘Thought Ronaldo was joking…’ | Football Italia
Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici admits “I thought it was a joke” when Jorge Mendes told him Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to sign.
The Portuguese joined the Bianconeri from Real Madrid for €100m in the summer, but the deal had been in the works for some time.
“Ronaldo is Ronaldo, there’s not much else to say,” Paratici said at the Dubai International Sports Conference.
“We’re happy with him, and not just from a technical point of view. He works so hard every day and is an example.
“When you see the guy who’s number one working like that, everyone feels obliged to do the same thing.
“It all happened very quickly. It was a historic transfer, and we need to thank the President and Real Madrid, because selling a player like that isn’t easy.
“The first contact was in the Champions League quarter-finals, Jorge Mendes told me that Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to sign for Juventus.
“I thought it was a joke, then we met to discuss Cancelo and he brought Ronaldo up again. At that point I realised we could try, and I went to talk to [President Andrea] Agnelli.
“It wasn’t easy, but he was immediately positive from a technical point of view, as well as the player’s motivation and what he could bring to our brand.
“After a few hours he called me back and told me to try.”
How did Massimiliano Allegri react?
“When I told the Coach he was very happy, he’s a lucky Coach. Allegri talked about it with the commercial directors, we looked at the numbers and decided it would be advantageous to proceed.”

‘Conte and Allegri among the best’ | Football Italia
Fabio Paratici believes Juventus have had “two of the best Coaches in the world” in Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegri.
The sporting director joined the Bianconeri along with former CEO Giuseppe Marotta in 2010, and after a season with Luigi Del Neri they appointed Conte.
After three Scudetti in a row he departed, with Allegri replacing him and winning the double in each of his four seasons.
“In the last eight years we have had two of the best coaches in the world in Conte and Allegri,” Paratici told the Dubai International Sports Conference.
“They’re two different Coaches. Conte is more character driven and is an organiser, he was perfect for that moment.
“We needed a Coach who had that ‘Juventus mentality’ inside him. With him and [President Andrea] Agnelli we saw the rebirth of the club.
“Allegri found an already evolving situation, he came from a great club like Milan and gave us that kind of mentality.
“He’s perhaps less of an organiser, but he’s more technical and open to more ways of playing.”
One of the big moments for Juve this summer was Gianluigi Buffon’s departure after 17 years.
“When you lose a symbol like Gigi you need to prepare for it, and that’s not easy. He’s also a friend of mine, from whom I learned so much about football and Juventus.
“We were prepared, he had first decided to end his career, and when we arrived at the end of the season we confirmed [Wojciech] Szczesny.
“Then he got that offer from Paris Saint-Germain, he told the President and we decided to let him go.”

its funny that clubs like napoli and milan are making shit up about how ronaldo was offered to them or how he was close to signing for them, when clearly he wasn't anywhere near joining those 2 but still trying to act relevant and like they are a club of great appeal too
