One of the best footballers in the world Cristiano Ronaldo has ended his EURO 2020 early. Portugal captain failed to repeat the success of last EURO, when his country won the tournament, and went on an early holiday. All eyes are now on his future in club football, since Ronaldo clearly stated that any decision will be made after the European Championship. And he is still silent on the matter, but Juventus has decided to go on record about their best scorer.Now that Portugal are out of EURO 2020 – what is next for Cristiano Ronaldo?Newly appointed sporting director Federico Cherubini stated that Ronaldo has not informed Juventus that he wants to leave this summer (as widely expected) and that his new/old coach Massimiliano Allegri is expecting the Portuguese to join the preseason preparations ahead of the 2021/22 campaign when his holidays are over.”There was no sign from Cristiano about the possibility of leaving. He did not give us any sign that he wants to leave. We are talking about a player who last year scored 36 goals in 44 games. Numbers do not say everything, but they hide many realities. We are happy that, when his well-deserved rest period is over, he will join the team for pre-season. The current signs from the player, the club and his representative do not indicate a departure for Cristiano, who for us is the centre of this project. Unfortunately, I do not have a crystal ball and I do not know what will happen in the future, but at this moment the situation is this and we are happy to have him” said Cherubini. 🎙| #Cherubini: “We haven’t received any signal from #Cristiano that he’ll leave this summer. Same from our side. We’re happy to have him back with us once new season starts on the 14th of July”. pic.twitter.com/qKDUS9olKB— Juventus Area (@juventus_area) July 1, 2021 Off course, it would be much better for Ronaldo to actually confirms that he is staying, rather than leaving the club do it on their own, since Cherubini’s statement is far from 100%, but rather reads like „He has not give us any sign yet“. There are reasons while Ronaldo wants to leave the club, and one of them is surely the possibility of winning another Champions League, which is highly unlikely with Juventus, at least this season. On the other hand, PSG would be a much better option, as the Parisians are loaded with starts and will push for a trophy in the Europe’s best competition. Ronaldo crucial for Juve’s transfer spree: Pogba is coming if CR7 leavesThere is also a matter of ’frosty’ relationship with Allegri, from the Italian’s first time at the helm of Juventus. Today, a few people remember the arrogant and underestimating gesture of the Portuguese towards Allegri after being relegated from the Champions League against Ajax. The ones who are familiar with the situation in Continassa claim that it was a turning point for Fabio Paratici and Pavel Nedved to go on the offensive to “drive away” Allegri a year before the expiration of his contract. Now, Allegri is back and he is stronger than ever. If Ronaldo decides to go anyway, the Italian tactician won’t shred any tears.
