Cristiano Ronaldo
It was speculated for a long time, now clarity should finally prevail. Cristiano Ronaldo will not leave Juventus Turin. But on the contrary.
Recently, reports had accumulated that the 36-year-old Portuguese wanted to leave the “old lady” after a poor season and the missed championship title. For their part, the “Bianconeri” would have saved themselves a net salary of 31 million euros by leaving Ronaldo.
But that will not happen, as the “Gazzetta dello Sport” reported. Ronaldo stays in Turin. After returning from vacation, he made it clear that he would stay with Juventus. On July 25, the striker will start team training under coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Ronaldo is even seriously considering extending his contract, which is running out at the end of the season. Discussions about this should start between consultant Jorge Mendes and Juve boss Andrea Agnelli in the next few weeks. In any case, the Portuguese is coming back to Turin to get the Scudetto back and to start a new attempt towards the Champions League title.
The five-time world footballer had flirted with a move to Paris St. Germain – there had also been contact with the French sheik ensemble – but Ronaldo did not want to wait for the decision of Kylian Mbappe. A move to Paris would only have been possible if the French had left.
