The Portuguese failed to find the back of the net in his first three matches in Serie A, before finally breaking his duck with a brace against Sassuolo in September.

Since then, Ronaldo has been among the goals regularly in Italy, adding another two to his tally in his side’s 2-1 win over Genoa on Saturday.

Cristiano Ronaldo has now equalled a 60-year-old goalscoring record at Juventus

According to the Daily Mirror, the 33-year-old has now scored seven league goals in his first 10 matches for the Bianconeri, becoming only the second player to achieve that ratio at Juve since John Charles, who did so in the 1957/58 season.

Charles ended his debut campaign with the Italian giants with 28 strikes, a tally Ronaldo will be backing himself to better this season.

A host of top names came close to the same feat for Juve, but fell short of the mark, including Gonzalo Higuain, Carlos Tevez and Filippo Inzaghi, who all managed six strikes in their first 10 Serie A matches for the club.

Meanwhile, Alessandro Del Piero, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Trezeguet all scored five goals in their first 10 league outings for the Bianconeri.

Ronaldo left Madrid as their all-time highest goalscorer to join the Serie A champions, Juventus last summer in a 100-million-euro deal. McManaman stated this after Madrid were defeated 5-1 by Barcelona in the El Clasico La Liga fixture played on Sunday.

Goals from Luiz Suarez (3), Philippe Coutinho (1) and Arturo Vidal (1) ensured victory for the Catalan club at the Camp Nou. Marcelo’s lone strike was not enough to get a point for the visitors.

McManaman said it was now necessary that the Santiago Bernabeu club must reinforce their squad in the January transfer window to turn things around.

McManaman reveals what Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence has done to Real Madrid

 “Everybody was surprised, weren’t they?” McManaman told Reuters on Monday.

“They took a long, long time to bring in new signings. They didn’t bring anyone to replace Cristiano.

“It was a big shock for everybody. Whether they could buy somebody of his quality, I don’t know.

“The fact that they didn’t bring anybody in and they did slow business in the centre forward area, it surprised everybody.”

McManaman added, “They probably need to refresh the team a bit more, to be very honest. They have kept the majority of the same team for the last couple of years.

“If you look at the age group of the Real Madrid players now, four or five of them are in the 30’s. It’s probably the time to start refreshing it and bring in more players and try and replicate the success.

“They have got a hard job on their hands. They are not playing well, the manager is under pressure and the team as well. They need to do something and need to do it quickly.”

Cristiano Ronaldo is the highest-paid player in Serie A and earns three times more than anyone else in Italy‘s top-flight, according to a report published by Gazzetta dello Sport. The Portuguese star has been the big talking point in Italy since his €100m (£88m/$117m) move to the Bianconeri in the summer.

Cristiano Ronaldo earns the most in Serie A

Juve have a perfect record after their first three games of the season, but Ronaldo is yet to score a goal for his new team and has attracted criticism for his failure to find the net thus far.

Gonzalo Higuain is the second highest earner

Despite his failure to score, it comes as no surprise that Ronaldo is top of the rankings when it comes to earnings, but the wage gap between the Juventus star and the rest of the league is quite astonishing.

Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport have revealed the wages of all Serie A players, with the 33-year-old taking home far more than any of his team-mates or rivals. Ronaldo is earning an incredible €31 million (£28m/$36m) per season in Turin and is on a four-year deal with the reigning Serie A champions.

Paulo Dybala is the next highest earner after Higuain

Not only is the five-time Ballon d’Or and Champions League winner by far the biggest earner in the league, but he earns more than three times as much as anyone else.

Gonzalo Higuain, who joined AC Milan from Juve after Ronaldo arrived in Turin, is the next best paid, raking in €9.5 million (£9m/$11m) per season.

Biggest earners in Serie A

• €31m Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus
• €9.5m Gonzalo Higuain, AC Milan
• €7m Paulo Dybala, Juventus
• €6.5 Miralem Pjanic, Juventus
• €6m Douglas Costa, Juventus
• €6m Ginaluigi Donnarumma, AC Milan
• €5.5m Leonardo Bonucci, Juventus
• €5m Emre Can, Juventus
• €4.6m Lorenzo Insigne, Napoli
• €4.5 Mauro Icardi, Inter Milan
• €4.5 Edin Dzeko, Roma

Unlike the top divisions in France, Spain and Germany, the Serie A window is set to close on friday, and De Laurentiis said that the chances of a move for Ospina look high.

David Ospina is on the verge of joining Napoli

Ospina has made a total of 70 appearances for Arsenal in four seasons. However, he’s never looked like their first choice and has managed only 29 Premier League appearances, 18 of which were in his first campaign at the Emirates Stadium.

New manager Unai Emery appears to favour the Colombia international even less than predecessor Arsene Wenger did. And despite the Premier League transfer window closing last Thursday, he said Ospina would still be allowed to leave for a club abroad.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has confirmed the club are in talks to sign Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina

Arsenal signed Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen this summer, though Emery has retained the much more experienced Petr Cech as No. 1 for the time being.

Leno’s arrival pushed Ospina further from the Arsenal XI, and it looks possible the Germany international will continue transitioning into the Gunners setup before eventually succeeding Cech between the posts.

The north Londoners also have Argentinian Emiliano Martinez, 25, among their ranks, and it looks likely the South American will take over from Ospina as Arsenal’s third-choice stopper should he leave.

Napoli allowed Pepe Reina to leave on a free transfer this summer as he signed for rivals AC Milan, and the Partenopei made a double signing from Udinese, with both Alex Meret, 21, and Orestis Karnezis, 32, joining.

De Laurentiis’ side are back in the market for a short-term solution after Meret broke his arm only days after joining, having been tipped to take the No. 1 spot.

Meret’s agent, Federico Pastorello, has since said the injury was “less serious than it could have been” and that he could be ready to face Lazio on the opening day of their Serie A season, per Football Italia.

Nevertheless, the hunt for a new goalkeeper is on, and De Laurentiis has given the deal a good chance of being finalised before the Serie A transfer window closes on Friday evening.

The Italian giants know they will get the best out of the 33-year-old after he revealed joining Juventus is “not a holiday”.

He said: “Usually players of my age go to Qatar or China, with all due respect, so coming to such an important and outstanding club at this point of my career makes me very happy.”

“I’m very well physically, mentally and emotionally so that’s why I’m so proud of being here and of the way I came here,” he said. “It gives me so much motivation for the future.

“I’m different from all the other players that think their career is over at my age.

“I really want to show I’m not like the others, I’m different, it’s a very emotional moment for me and the club because I’m not 23, I’m 33.”

Ronaldo returned to Juventus at the end of July to meet his new team-mates and begin training. He had been given a bit of extra time off to recover after his World Cup campaign with Portugal, where they were beaten by Uruguay in the last-16.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was yesterday pictured shopping with Georgina, 24, in Milan as the pair get used to life in Italy. Ronaldo seems to have no regrets about leaving Real Madrid – after unfollowing the club on Instagram.
