Spanish soccer giant Real Madrid Football Club agreed to transfer five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus Football Club SpA following a request from the player to leave. Speculation of a deal had sent the Italian club’s stock soaring over the past week.

Juventus will pay 100 million euros ($117.3 million) and another 12 million euros in additional fees to sign the player on a four-year contract, it said in a statement. Juventus didn’t disclose terms of Ronaldo’s contract.
