The just-concluded 2020-21 season saw Ronaldo finishing as the side's and Serie A's highest goal-scorer. However, he failed to help his side retain the crown and barely managing to finish fourth. Although he did win a couple of domestic titles with the side this season, the lack of UEFA Champions League success is disturbing him.

Therefore, reports and rumours are doing rounds that he could leave the Old Lady this summer while he has already begun the proceedings. However, are his teammates aware of his plans for next season?

According to a report by Messaggero, Ronaldo has already informed his Juventus teammates that he is leaving. Furthermore, the news and video of him moving his luxurious cars out of Turin add fuel to the information.

As for his next destination, it remains unclear, with reports of him returning to one of his former clubs highly likely. While Real Madrid has decided against having him, his agent Jorge Mendes ruled out a move to his boyhood home club, Sporting CP.

That leaves English giant Manchester United very much likely to have him, while French giant Paris Saint-Germain, too, happens to be monitoring the situation. In the meantime, reports also suggest that United could be willing to enter a swap deal with Juventus, French midfielder Paul Pogba for the Portuguese.

Pogba is also an alumnus of Juventus, having played between 2012-16, winning four Serie A titles. With Ronaldo still having a year left in his current contract in Turin, United might let go of Pogba to reduce the cost hassles for having the former. While the Frenchman could have a chance at success with the Bianconeri, the Portguese could contemplate having the same hurrah with the Red Devils.NOTE: Asianet News humbly requests everyone to wear masks, sanitise, maintain social distancing and get vaccinated as soon as eligible.
