Cristiano Ronaldo 'implores James Rodriguez to join Juventus'

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly tried to tempt James Rodriguez into a future move to Juventus.

James is contracted to Real Madrid, but the Colombia international is currently in the second year of a two-season spell on loan at Bayern Munich.

The 27-year-old is currently unlikely to spend another season at the Bundesliga side, and according to Marca, Ronaldo has begun to try to secure a reunion with his former teammate.

James has been linked with a number of top European teams, but it has been suggested that Ronaldo wants the attacker to strengthen Juve in the final third.

There are just under two-and-a-half years remaining on Rodriguez's contract with the Spanish outfit.
