The 33-year-old will end a successful spell at the Santiago Bernabeu to join the Serie A side in a deal that will cost upwards of €100 million
Real Madrid have confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo will leave the club to join Juventus.
The Serie A champions swooped to sign the Portugal captain after he indicated that he was considering leaving Madrid after their Champions League final win in May.
On Tuesday, Juventus president Andrea Agnelli flew from Pisa to Greece to meet Ronaldo, who is on holiday in Kalamata, and his agent Jorge Mendes arrived from England later on to join them.
Ronaldo is said to have agreed a four-year contract that will see him pocket €30 million (£26.5m/$35m) per season and Madrid have since confirmed that they have allowed him to make the move to Turin in a transfer expected to be worth upwards of €100m (£88m/$117m).
“Real Madrid CF communicates that, in response to the will and request expressed by the player Cristiano Ronaldo, he has agreed to transfer to Juventus FC.”

Ronaldo, 33, reached global superstar status after becoming the world's most expensive player when he joined Madrid from Manchester United in 2009.
During his nine-year spell at the Santiago Bernabeu, Ronaldo won 15 trophies, including two La Liga titles and two Copa del Rey crowns.
He helped Madrid to La Decima in the Champions League final with Atletico Madrid in 2014 and played a crucial role in Los Blancos winning the competition in each of the last three seasons.
And the Santiago Bernabeu club thanked the star for all he had done during his time there, adding to their statement: "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 9 years, Cristiano Ronaldo has been an example of dedication, work, responsibility, talent and improvement... For Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo will always be one of the great symbols and a unique reference for the next generations.
"Real Madrid will always be your home."
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, will now have the chance to win a European league title with a third club after completing a shock move to Turin.
Madrid, meanwhile, have already denied making bids for Paris Saint-Germain duo Neymar and Kylian Mbappe as they prepare for the 2018-19 season under new coach Julen Lopetegui.
The former Spain coach takes over from Zinedine Zidane after the Frenchman surprisingly decided to resign after Madrid beat Liverpool in Kiev.

Stunning €340m Ronaldo transfer to Juventus will revive Italian football
49 minutes ago 17:19
With Ronaldo in their squad, Juventus could very well be winning the next 10 or so Serie A titles. Why should Roma or Napoli bother, really? They could take a ten-year holiday or until the 33-year-old decides to retire.
But perhaps the addition of the Portuguese superstar to the sidse could mean a revival of Italian football. Italian teams did well to go far in Europe in the Champions League – and could be set for a nice Italian renaissance.

The 33-year-old has thanked Madrid supporters
Cristiano Ronaldo has written an open letter to Real Madrid fans. Here's how it begins...
"These years at Real Madrid, and in this city of Madrid, have been possibly the happiest of my life.
"I only have feelings of enormous gratitude for this club, for this sport and for this city. I can only thank everyone for the love and affection I have received.
"However, I believe that the time has come to open a new stage in my life and that is why I have asked the club to accept selling me. This is how I feel and I want to ask everyone, and especially our fans, to please understand me.
"Thank you infinitely to our fans and thanks also to Spanish Football. During these nine years I have had the pleasure of playing alongside great players. You have my respect and my recognition for all of them."

Where would he be best deployed by Massimiliano Allegri?
What team wouldn't want Ronaldo? The Italian champions are already equipped with the strike force of Dybala and Higuain and spoiled for choice – and adding the Portuguese international to the trio would be enough to demolish any side.
So how would they line up with the 33-year-old? Read Goal's in-depth look here.
