Juventus' pre-season schedule involves some interesting encounters, with games against European giants Bayern Munich and Benfica as well as a massive fixture against European champions Real Madrid.

Juventus have a hat-trick of high-profile ICC fixtures against European opposition in the United States, and started with a win against German champions Bayern Munich in Philadelphia on July 25.

They faced Benfica in New Jersey on July 28 and round up their pre-season tour of North America with a mouthwatering tie against Real Madrid.

New signing Ronaldo won't be facing his former side this summer, however, as he is set to miss out on the entirety of the pre-season tour in the United States and will only join up with the squad once they return to Europe.

Juventus 2018-19 transfer activity


Juventus made a sensational blockbuster summer signing in Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, acquiring the striker in a deal worth €100m. It was a shock move from the Portugal international who was keen on starting a new chapter in his life following his third consecutive Champions League win with the Spanish side, and has a chance to dominate yet another aspect of European football.

The Serie A champions also snapped up defender Joao Cancelo from Valencia in a €40m deal, along with midfielder Emre Can from Liverpool on a free transfer following the end of his contract.

The Italians also had to deal with the loss of veteran goalkeeper and club captain Gianluigi Buffon, who announced his departure from San Siro after 17 years to sign for Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.
