#1 Cristiano Ronaldo wants Barcelona defender to join him in Turin
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly set his sights on his countryman Nelson Semedo and wants Juventus to replace the outgoing Joao Cancelo with the Barcelona right back.
It was earlier reported that the former Real Madrid player was unhappy with the impending sale of Cancelo, who Ronaldo saw as a vital component of the team.
However, the Juventus No. 7 understands that the sale might be necessary for various reason and wants another Portuguese to replace Cancelo.
We revealed yesterday that Semedo was unsettled at Barcelona and a lot of clubs, including Juventus, were monitoring the situation.
The Portuguese was reportedly unhappy at the Camp Nou due to Valverde's insistence of playing Sergio Roberto ahead of him.
Semedo, along with Ronaldo, was a part of the Portugal team who defeated the Netherlands in the final of the UEFA Nations League and were crowned the first champions.
Whether the former Ballon d'Or winner had spoken to his countryman during the celebrations is not known, but Semedo certainly has the qualities to succeed at Turin
