''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.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Portugal international Cristiano Ronaldo was reported to have told Juventus' chiefs to give him three more bodyguards for himself and his family in Italy.

One of these three men will be monitoring his house in the Gran Madre Park, while the other two guards will be looking after him and his family.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
