The 36 year old’s €30m a year contract runs out next summer and Juventus risk losing him for nothing in 2022 unless they sell the forward this summer or offer him a new contract.
Ronaldo had been linked with a move away from the Allianz Stadium and was set to leave the club if Juve missed out on securing Champions League qualification for next season.
Despite seeing their nine year Serie A winning streak come to an end last term, Juve secured fourth spot and won both the Coppa Italia and Supper coppa Italiana. Ronaldo also finished as the leading scorer in the top flight with 29 goals in 33 appearances. The Portugal international was believed to be frustrated at the end of the season when former Juve boss Andrea Pirlo benched him because of “fatigue” for their final game of the season.
He posted on his Instagram account after the conclusion of the campaign saying he had accomplished everything he had wished to achieve since arriving in Italy, comments which led to speculation over his future.
Ronaldo is costing Juventus £52m a year and he earns £25m after tax.
In other Juve news , the club is keen to sell Aaron Ramsey this summer and will do everything they can to move on the midfielder, who is seen as a financial burden by the club.
Reports suggest that after two years in Turin, he is still unable to communicate in Italian with his teammates or the media and that has had a negative impact on his ability to settle in the country. This has been worsened by his injury problems that have seen him out of action for long periods of time. The Welsh man earns a massive £400,000 a week.
