Real Madrid have announced that Cristiano Ronaldo has agreed to move to Juventus after nine years at the Bernabeu.
The fee for the five time Ballon d'Or winner is believed to be in the region of £105m, and he is due to undergo a medical with the Italian champions next week.
A statement from Real Madrid on their official website said the Portuguese forward had asked to leave the club.
It read: "In response to the will and request expressed by the player Cristiano Ronaldo, he has agreed to transfer to Juventus.
"Real Madrid wants to express its gratitude to a player who has proved to be the best in the world and who has marked one of the brightest times in the history of our club and world football.
"Beyond the conquered titles, the trophies achieved and the triumphs achieved in the playing fields during these nine years, Cristiano Ronaldo has been an example of dedication, work, responsibility, talent and improvement.
"For Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo will always be one of his great symbols and a unique reference for the next generations. Real Madrid will always be your home."
