Another Cristiano Ronaldo? Sounds more than interesting if you are Juventus and you have your icon still active but already turned 36 years old. That is why the Italian club is already looking for new faces that can secure the future, despite the Portuguese star will retire from soccer in just a couple of years. The curious fact is that the club seems to have found the name in Barcelona after bringing their idol front Real Madrid.

They are not the same type of player as for 2021, but both players’ beginnings are a bit more similar. Before becoming a striker, Cristiano Ronaldo used to be absolutely unstoppable when playing on the wings, both on the left on the right. His quick speed and his wonderful dribbling drove defenses crazy for a long time. But that was mainly in Manchester United, and things started to change when he moved to Real Madrid.

There is another winger in which now Juventus has lots of hopes pleased. As we said he’s not from Real Madrid but from Barcelona the Merengues’ biggest rivals. When he was 18 years old Cristiano Ronaldo was still playing in Portugal and moved to Manchester about to turn 20. That could be one of the differences between him in Barcelona wonderkid Ansu Fati. The Spanish winger, born in Guinea-Bissau, is the main dream of Andrea Pirlo.

Of course, that being one of the most promising players in the world will lead to an extremely high price in the transfer market. According to the specialized website Transfermarkt, the price of the young winger would be €80 million, or $96.8 million. Will he turn from simply Ansu Fati to something more like AF7?
