Juventus tell Ronaldo he can only leave once their demands are met

Italian giants Juventus have told Cristiano Ronaldo they are willing to sell him this summer but only on their terms.

Portugal forward Ronaldo, 36, still has a year left on his contract.

The Portuguese star’s future with the club has been a subject of intense speculation has a year left on his contract and he was left out of the starting XI for the club’s opening Serie A match with Udinese.

Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has spoken to several major European clubs about potentially signing him, including Manchester City and Paris St-Germain but reports suggest no deal has been reached yet.

Mendes was, reportedly, summoned to Juventus’ training ground earlier on Thursday for a meeting with senior club figures, including Vice-president Pavel Nedved, CEO Maurizio Arrivabene and sporting director Federico Cherubini.

Mendes was made aware that all situations remained open for Ronaldo but the Old Lady would not sanction departure if no transfer fee was involved.

Ronaldo joined Juventus from Real Madrid two years ago with the hope of winning another Champions’ League title but the Italian giants have not made it past the quarter-finals since Ronaldo’s arrival and have been beaten in the last 16 for the past two seasons.

Domestically, they lost their Serie A title last season after winning it for nine years in a row and only scraped into the Champions League places in the last three games.
