The future of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo with his Italian club, Juventus, has become the focus of the local and European press, and one of the Italian reports stated that the club is ready to dispense with the world's top scorer cheaply.
Ronaldo moved from Real 3 years ago for a price that was also underrated at the time, as he was at the height of his football glory and crowned the European Champions League (105 million euros), and his contract with the club expires next year, and his annual salary reaches 31 million.
And the Italian "La Gazzetta dello Sport" reported that Juventus may give up Ronaldo for less than 30 million euros only, which is less than a third of its market value of 45 million, according to the "Transfermarkt" website.
And the newspaper said that Ronaldo’s departure will save the exhausted treasury of Juventus, as a result of the Corona pandemic, more than 87 million euros, which is the total value of the cost of his stay in Turin.
Ronaldo's main crisis is not in his price, but rather his huge salary, which is difficult for most clubs, even major ones, to provide easily, in light of the significant decrease in revenues due to the Corona pandemic.
Previous reports said that Ronaldo may return this summer to his former club (Manchester United), and other reports said that his agent is negotiating with French Saint-Germain as well.
Despite Ronaldo's achievement with Juventus by scoring 101 goals in 133 games, he failed for 3 consecutive seasons to achieve the main goal of contracting him, which is to win the Champions League, and even failed to preserve the domestic title last season, which was crowned by Inter Milan.
However, Juventus director of football Federico Cherubini recently said he does not expect Ronaldo to leave this summer, as he is expected to complete his contract with the team.
