Sampdoria had a cheeky dig at Serie A rivals Juventus as they unveiled new signing Ronaldo Vieira on Friday.

The England under-21 midfielder has joined Sampdoria from Leeds United, and his new club decided to rip off the fact that he shares a name with Juventus’ blockbuster summer signing Cristiano Ronaldo.

Sampdoria’s tweet heralding Vieira’s arrival looked remarkably similar to Juventus’ from July when they announced the transfer that remains the signing of the summer.

While no one is comparing the two players, it’s worth noting that Vieira was named among the top prospects under 20 in European football earlier this year.
