Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus: Real Madrid star relaxes on holiday in Greece as he prepares for £88million move
Portuguese star takes refuge with Georgina Rodriguez as Los Blancos urge CR7 to tell fans they didn't force him out
CRISTIANO RONALDO has jetted off on holiday to Greece as he prepares for a stunning £88million move to Juventus.
The Portuguese star, 33, is said to have passed a medical at the club and is now on the brink of putting pen to a paper on a four-year deal - worth £30m-a-season.
With rumours swirling and the pain of Portugal's World Cup exit in the last-16 still cutting deep, Ronaldo has whisked Georgina Rodriguez and son Cristiano Jnr to Greece.
The family are sunning themselves in a luxurious resort just off the south-west peninsula or Peloponnese.
Reports in Greece claim Ronaldo arrived on his private jet and then took a helicopter to reach the resort - with additional security employed to keep him away from the public eye.
CR7 and son Cristiano Jnr are said to have played tennis and hit the beach, without a care in the world.
But Ron is set to be snapped back to reality on his return to Madrid, with the club asking him to tell fans he was NOT forced out of the Bernabeu.
The Spanish side are fearing a backlash from supporters after Ronaldo claimed he felt let-down by the club over a lack of support during his tax evasion allegations.
Los Blancos want Ronaldo - Real Madrid's all-time leading scorer with 451 goals - to say goodbye to fans in person or via video message.
But the star himself has more pressing matters at hand, as he rushes to find a new home in Turin ahead of his Juventus move.

Italian estate agents Cesare Furbatto have claimed Ronaldo has an appointment to view a stunning house in the foothills of the city.
The home has previously been occupied by the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Fabio Cannavaro and is said to cost an outrageous £35,000 per WEEK.
However, there's plenty of bang for buck in the rustic, mountain mansion with around 200 rooms - eight of which are bedrooms - and an indoor swimming pool.
There are even two secret escape route to avoid potential visits from the paparazzi.
Now bizarrely, car manufacturers Fiat are reportedly offering to part-fund Ronaldo's whopping £500,000-a-week wages at Juventus.
Fiat are already helping to pay Gonzalo Higuain’s wages following his £75m move from Napoli two years ago.
