This summer, Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Bianconeri from Real Madrid with a transfer fee of 654.38 billion euros, which shocked the whole football. When it came out that the Serie A champion was interested in signing the Portuguese, people expressed doubts about the deal, but in fact the transfer was successfully completed.
"Cristiano's transfer is actually very simple because he has considered joining Juventus before," Paratic told Sky TV. "We really don't need to convince him. I think on May 25th, after the championship final, he made a decision. He said: "If there is Juventus, then I just want to go to Juventus". At that time, we discussed the transfer of Canceiro with Mendes and he told me,' You won't believe it, but Cristiano wants to play for Juventus'. I replied:' It's not that I don't believe it, but it seems that it will be difficult to settle everything.' "
"President Agnelli makes people feel that he is at the club every day, because he has been with us, or at least kept in touch, so it is easy for us to reach an agreement face to face. We planned for several days, but it was not in the plan. I said to him,' This may be an opportunity, but it is important that you listen to me to the end'. When you go to his office and tell him that you need to buy Cristiano Ronaldo ... it's good news about sports and other things. But the chairman immediately understood, and I realized that he was thinking along this line. "
"When I left his office, I thought we could close the deal. Agnelli said,' Give me a day or two to think about it', but he called me three hours later. In order to draft the contract, we rented a villa in Lake Machol for a whole day, together with Juventus representatives and players. "
Paratic and Mallota are both key figures in the revival of the Bianconeri. Now that Mallota has joined Inter Milan, Paratic has replaced him as the transfer director of the club. Talking about their relationship, Paratic explained: "I think our work is very compatible and complementary. I will deal with purely technical issues, including the relationship with scouts and brokers, and determine the signing target. Then I will meet with Mallota. He knows a lot about football and arithmetic, so he will tell you how far you can go in the negotiation. The best thing is that we work well together. I will handle things to the final stage, and then he will use his experience to mediate and help me make as few mistakes as possible. "
"Overall, I think the most difficult negotiation is Tevez. He was the last player we contacted in the first year (20 10- 1 1), when our season was not good. We must restart Juve. We are in contact with Tevez, even though we are not qualified for the Champions League. When you are not in the Champions League, it is difficult to sign those excellent players. Although he immediately said,' Yes, although we are not in the Champions League, I will join Juventus'. There are other reasons for the failure of the transaction, such as economic factors, but we still keep in touch because it has always been my goal to bring Tevez to Juventus. "
"Kong Di and allegri? When Kong Di came to power, the transfer market depended on the player's function and what Kong Di wanted him to do. This is reasonable and can really make the work of players easier. Kong Di has his own tactical style. Obviously, we must find players who are suitable for this tactical system. In this sense, allegri is more flexible. He has no tactical system, he is more open and has more solutions, so our transfer goal has expanded a little. "
The Bianconeri's goal is still to win the Champions League trophy. They all lost in the finals of 20 15 and 20 17. "This is our ambition, not our obsession."
