Juventus powerbroker Lapo Elkann has hit out at PSG for openly discussing the prospect of signing Cristiano Ronaldo.
Elkann is a member of the Agnelli family that runs Juve, his brother being John Elkann and his cousin President Andrea Agnelli.
He has blasted Khalifa Bin Hamad Al-Thani for the 'disrespectful' use of Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo's image in a PSG shirt.
Al-Thani, a member of the family that owns Paris Saint-Germain and who confirmed the Lionel Messi move earlier this summer, posted an image of Ronaldo and Messi standing side-by-side in PSG kits.
He added the word 'Maybe?' in three different languages.
"CR7 is a player of Juventus F.C." wrote Elkann on Twitter in response.
“It is disrespectful to continue putting other jerseys on him as if he were a figurine. If he changes team, wherever he goes, he will have respect as both a man and an athlete.
“You see, as a Gentleman said, football is a passion for us. For generations."
