Cristiano Ronaldo quit Real Madrid for a new challenge with Juventus during the summer, opting to move to Serie A in a huge £105million transfer.
The 33-year-old has made an instant impact over in Turin, scoring nine league goals to boost the Old Lady’s chances of winning the Scudetto yet again.
Real Madrid have, however, struggled without Ronaldo and go into today’s clash with Valencia sitting six points behind Sevilla at the La Liga summit.
Valero’s wife has been chatting about her husband ahead of Juventus’ clash with the player’s old side, Fiorentina, tonight.
And she has claimed Ronaldo’s name has been banned in their household because their son, Alvaro, was gutted at the player’s Real Madrid exit.
“Who?” she joked when asked about the Portugal international and Juventus ace.
“That name is banned in the Valero household!
“When he left Real our son, Alvaro, banned us from saying it. He was his idol.”
Meanwhile, it was recently claimed that Ronaldo could have joined AC Milan instead of Juventus.
The 33-year-old has already scored against Milan this season in a 2-0 win last month.
And the club’s former sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli has insisted Ronaldo could have been a Rossoneri player.
Ownership issues, though, complicated the transfer.
"It was something we talked about with Jorge Mendes," Mirabelli revealed.
"We knew there could be problems with Real [and Ronaldo].
“We did everything, but then the Chinese owners blocked the deal because it was not sustainable.
"With the current owners CR7 would have been a Milan player."
