There are no indications that Ronaldo will leave Juventus

Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo is heading to continue with his current team, Juventus, after there were no indications of his desire to leave, and he is expected to return to Turin later this month, according to what the club’s vice president and former Czech midfielder Pavel Nedved said yesterday. .

The former international player said during the unveiling of the Italian League program for the 2021-2022 season, "Cristiano is on vacation. We have no indication from his surroundings that he wants to leave. We are waiting for his return on the 25th of this month, as scheduled."

The 36-year-old CR7 is still linked with Torino for an additional season, in his transfer to Juventus in 2018 from Real Madrid, for three seasons. Doubts arose about the future of the best scorer in the European Cup, which concluded on Sunday, with Italy's victory over England 3-2 on penalties (a 1-1 draw in the original and extra time), after Juventus failed to retain its title as the "Serie E" champion for the tenth season in a row, and its exit from the The round of 16 of the European Champions League competition, to return and painstakingly snatch in the last stage the qualifying card for the main continental competition by coming fourth, and only winning the local cup.

Juventus will start the new season outside its bases against Udinese and under the management of its new coach - old Massimiliano Allegri, the successor to Andrea Pirlo, who was dismissed from his position, and in turn returned to take over the technical matters two years after his dismissal despite his leadership of Juve to win the Scudetto title five seasons in a row. In the same context, Nedved said, "There was some routine with (Allegri) for a period of five years," adding, "Then he left for a period of two years to rest, but now he has returned with great motivation."

The former Czech international admitted that Juventus celebrated their final fourth-place qualifying for the Champions League more than they did when they won the league title in 2020 with former coach Maurizio Sarri. "I think it was true when Sarri said that we didn't celebrate a lot of this Scudetto, maybe because things became normal because we had won a lot," he said. And he added, "We tried again with Andrea Pirlo (coach last season), but we finished fourth. We celebrated this achievement after a complicated season, perhaps because of the suffering we went through." Nedved confirmed that the club was interested in signing Sassuolo midfielder Manuel Locatelli after his performance with the Italian national team, which was recently crowned champion of the old continent for the second time in its history, 1968. He concluded, "We quietly followed the player's performance during the European Cup. He is a player in Sassuolo and we have time enough to deal with the matter.
