Neymar 'happy for Ronaldo'

Neymar believes Cristiano Ronaldo will "change Italian football" following his summer move to Juventus from Real Madrid.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner joined the Turin club for a fee in the region of £105m, declaring he wants to "mark the history of Juventus".

Neymar is in no doubt that Ronaldo will have a massive impact in Serie A.

"I think Cristiano Ronaldo will change Italian football." he said. "It will again be the Italian football that I watched when I was a child because Ronaldo is a great player. He is a legend in football, a genius."

Ronaldo won four Champions Leagues, two La Liga titles and two Copa del Rey trophies with Real Madrid on his way to becoming the club's all-time top scorer.

After so much success, Neymar thinks it cannot have been an easy decision to leave Madrid.

"I'm happy for his decision," Neymar added. "I think it is a difficult decision for him so I wish him good luck but not against Paris."
