Agent: 30 goals won't be enough for Juventus signing Ronaldo

Italian agent Beppe Accardi believes expectations should be sky high for Juventus signing Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo joined Juve from Real Madrid as they sold Gonzalo Higuain to AC Milan and Accardi says he must outshine the Argentine to prove value for money.

He told RMC: "I believe that Cristiano Ronaldo's coup, the most incredible of Italian football, cannot be discussed. But CR7 should be seen in our league. The question is this one: if he scores 30 goals, he has failed. Because Higuain has scored 36.

"It is true that he is the number one in the world with (Leo) Messi, but he comes to a championship with an incredible difficulty, where it can be more functional to make others score than to score yourself."
