The two were teammates at Real Madrid and Ronaldo seems keen for him to move away from his former club and join him in Turin. James has spent the last two seasons on loan at Bayern Munich from Real Madrid. Matthaus told AS of his dealings with James: “We had a conversation two weeks ago, during the celebration of Bayern’s Bundesliga win. I see him at Juventus. He is very close to Cristiano Ronaldo and told me that he was in contact with him and that he has told him that he wants to have him at Juventus.” Matthaus added: “I understand why as James can serve Ronaldo so that he can score and the two of them can shine.”
