Cristiano Ronaldo: Juventus prepare to sign THREE new stars to please Ronaldo
JUVENTUS are looking to sign THREE new players this summer, in order to please star man Cristiano Ronaldo, according to reports in Italy.

Italian publication Tuttosport claim that Juve chiefs are ready to push the boat out again this summer.
Juve signed Cristiano Ronaldo last year for a fee of £100m, and since then, the Portuguese star has scored 17 goals making him Serie A's top scorer.
Ronaldo’s main target in Turin will undoubtedly be Champions League glory, considering Juve have been in three finals since 2003, losing them all.
And Tuttosport say that Juve are looking for big names to sign in the summer to keep Ronaldo happy - on top of the arrival of Aaron Ramsey, who has agreed a free transfer from Arsenal.
The names put forward are Isco, who looks an isolated figure at Real Madrid, Marcelo, who Ronaldo formed a formidable bond with at the Bernabeu, and James Rodriguez, who doesn’t have a future in Madrid either.
Isco isn’t being played on a regular basis by manager Santiago Solari, and it’s been reported that Real are looking to overhaul their squad to rebuild following the departure of Ronaldo.
Eden Hazard is naturally top of their wish list, with Chelsea not willing to sell for under £120m.
Christian Eriksen could also be a target for Bernabeu chiefs, as another season without silverware with Tottenham looms for the Dane.
Marcelo and Ronaldo could yet work the magic at Juve that they did in Spain, which will be the biggest reason for his inclusion on the list.
And James Rodriguez, who hasn’t hit the heights he reached at the 2014 World Cup in club football, is coming to the end of his two-year loan with Bayern Munich.
Rodriguez, though, has told Real Madrid not to make the move permanent, although the Spanish giants want him off their books.

It’s also been rumoured that Paulo Dybala has fallen out with Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri following their 3-3 draw with Parma over the weekend.
Allegri, however, refused to say too much on the matter, and joked about the situation.
“I guess he was cold,” he said, when asked about why Dybala left the dressing room following the game.
