Ronaldo could cause De Licht to leave Juventus

Cristiano Ronaldo feels comfortable at Juventus and wants to continue with the team beyond his existing contract with them, which expires in 2022. In Italy it is reported that the star has made clear to the club his intentions that he is interested in extending the contract until at least 2023, when the old lady at this stage is not in a hurry to respond to him and is still studying the situation.

The Serie A champion is of course pleased with the phenomenon and its great numbers this season, but is still not sure that it is right for her to commit at such an early stage to a contract for another two years from now. Juventus do not deny the fact that Ronaldo’s advanced age is definitely a consideration and that in the 15 months from now until the end of the 2021/22 season he is expected and even likely to experience a decline.

In any case, if the Bianconeri decide they do want to keep the star for another season despite his inflated salary, they will have to give up one of the significant players on the squad to put money into the club’s coffers. The young Dutchman will be able to allow the team to try to get an heir at a more discounted price and also pay CR7.
