At this point, it is improbable that Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Juventus this summer. On the other hand, the chatter about a possible extension did not have a real follow-up. Therefore, he is highly likely to depart in 2022, at the natural end date of his initial four-year contract. His next destination could be PSG.
According to AS, the plan is already in motion for him to pair up with his former archrival Lionel Messi. He would replace Kylian Mbappé, who would transfer to Real Madrid in this scenario. The French star has not come to terms on a new contract and his current one is up in 2022, same as Ronaldo’s.
Despite the situation, Nasser Al-Khelaifi is refusing to open talks to sell him in this window. The PSG chairman commented on the matter during Messi’s unveiling: “Mbappé wants a competitive team and now he has it. He has no excuses.” Florentino Perez is resigned to the fact he will have to be patient to sign the striker, the Spanish newspaper adds.
Ronaldo would join PSG at age 37, inking a two-year deal. After a couple of seasons with Neymar and Messi, the entire 2015 Ballon d’Or podium, he would eye a move to Qatar or the MLS. AS adds that his agent Jorge Mendes is already in the know about the blockbuster project. Juventus have reiterated multiple times that the Portuguese ace would stay put in 2021. However, nobody has spoken about what is going to happen after the upcoming campaign.
