The 33-year-old is on holiday but could be a Bianconeri player this week as the club's president flies in to meet him in Kalamata

The Portuguese star is set to join the Serie A champions on a four-year deal that will see him net €30 million (£26.5m/$35m) per season, after announcing his desire to leave Madrid after their Champions League final win over in May.

After months of speculation, the deal could be brought to an end this week, as Agnelli was spotted travelling from Pisa to Kalamata, where Ronaldo is on holiday following 's World Cup campaign.

Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes is also expected to attend the meeting having earlier been in , where another of his clients, Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo, successfully agreed a one-year contract extension.

Mendes is then expected to give Juve’s general manager Beppe Marotta the go-ahead to make a formal €100m offer to Madrid for Ronaldo.

Former Juventus CEO Luciano Moggi said last week that he had been told the 33-year-old's contract had already been signed and that the former Manchester United star had already passed a medical in Munich.

Rumours of the global icon joining the Turin outfit sent their stock prices soaring, leading to the club releasing a statement admitting that they are "evaluating several opportunities" in the transfer market.

The transfer will set a new club record signing for Juventus, overtaking their €90m acquisition of ex-Madrid star Gonzalo Higuain from .

The pair will likely feature alongside each other once again in the Italian top flight - a possibility that has Higuain's agent and brother excited already.

"It would be fantastic if he made a strike partnership with Gonzalo," he told Sky Sport Italia recently. "They know each other so well, as they played about 80 games together.

"If Juve can do it, this will be fantastic, just spectacular."
