Cristiano Ronaldo to Leave Juventus
Cristiano Ronaldo has parted ways with Juventus. The Portuguese star will embark on a new adventure, as Manchester City is expected to be the next destination.
This Friday, CR7 greeted his teammates and left the training center, as he did not attend today's session. Various media and journalists have also published videos from the moment of Ronaldo leaving the training center of the whites and blacks, "Continassa".
The departure of the Portuguese star has caused a big blow to the most titled club in Italy, as the executives have already started thinking about Ronaldo's successor. As reported, the Portugal captain has even cleaned out his locker in the dressing room at Juventus and is reluctant to make himself available to face Empoli this weekend.
If a deal is to be reached, the clock is ticking with the transfer window set to close on Tuesday. Premier League champions City have been widely linked with a move for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner after missing out on England captain Harry Kane. The fee, however, could be a problem with the Italians believed to be wanting 25-30 million euros.
Ronaldo, who has one year remaining on his contract, has also been linked with Paris Saint-Germain and a return to Madrid.
He joined Juve in 2018 after scoring a remarkable 450 goals in 438 appearances in a glittering nine-year spell at the Bernabeu that also included four Champions League triumphs.
At Juventus, his hopes of winning another Champions League have been thwarted, with the club failing to get beyond the quarter-finals during his time.
