Cristiano Ronaldo has arrived in Turin ahead of his first training session with Juventus on Monday.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star completed a shock €100 million (£88m/$117m) move to Serie A following the World Cup in Russia and was unveiled by the club earlier this month.
The work now begins for the Portugal star, who made his way to Turin on Sunday.
Juventus are in the United States on their pre-season tour, having already faced Bayern Munich and Benfica in International Champions Cup action.
They take on the MLS All-Stars on Wednesday in Atlanta before closing out their tour with a match against Real Madrid next Saturday – though Ronaldo is unlikely to play.
The Portuguese, along with a host of other World Cup stars, took no part in the club’s pre-season tour and are now reporting to club’s home base in Italy to prepare for the upcoming Serie A season.
