(Reuters) - Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo would like Barcelona's Lionel Messi to leave Spain and rekindle their rivalry by joining him in the Italian top flight.

Ronaldo moved to Serie A champions Juventus in July for 100 million euros (89 million pounds) after spending nine trophy-laden seasons at Real Madrid.
