''Ronaldo is the best in history and the credit for this deal isn't mine, it's Juve and President Andrea Agnelli's who decided to take Cristiano.
''Juventus wanted him and they bought him, he'd already told me he wanted to play for Juventus in January, that's the truth.
"I thought it was impossible, but what I said to him was that it was very difficult, not impossible. Then I met the directors, the first meeting was with Pavel Nedved and Fabio Paratici, before the game against Real.
"Then I met the President, and from impossible I started to believe it was becoming probable, and as soon as Agnelli took the stage it was feasible. The negotiations lasted a couple of months,'' Mendes explained according to the report on Bleacher.
Before leaving Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo won La Liga and the Copa del Rey twice and also scooped four UEFA Champions League titles.
