There has been much speculation regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's future, with the chances of watching him leave the bianconeri to join PSG, Manchester United, or even a shock return to Real Madrid or Sporting Lisbon in the cards. Earlier today, Cristiano's fans have been given a clear sign on the place he will be calling home next season.
According to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Portuguese ace and all-time top scorer for the Selecao has decided to stay put with the bianconeri. The reasons for his change of heart have to do with his desire to work under Massimiliano Allegri, and the lack of real alternatives to leave the club.
The Italian newspaper states that CR7 was aware of PSG's interest in his services, but he decided not to keep waiting for them to make a decision on his future, which is linked to Kylian Mbappé's exit. Hence, Cristiano and his agent Jorge Mendes decided to honor their deal with the bianconeri, which may include lower wages due to the team's economic problems. The player's entourage told La Gazzetta that "Juventus is still the place where he wants to play".
The laureated footballer is supposed to go back to the team's training sessions on July 25, a date that has been marked by Massimiliano Allegri as the moment both will be working together. The info shared by the newspaper adds that Cristiano and his agent have even proposed to sign a contract extension for two more years, when he would be ready to join a lower-tier league.
Cristiano Ronaldo has played 133 games across all comps for Juventus, scoring 101 goals in the process. His three-year spell with the bianconeri has seen him win two Serie A titles and a Coppa Italia trophy, but the player's main target, winning a UEFA Champions League with Juventus, is still a pending task.
