Juventus goes through an economic crisis and analyzes getting rid of the Portuguese. 
Juventus goes through an economic crisis and analyzes getting rid of the Portuguese. 

The coronavirus pandemic changed the plans of all clubs worldwide, who had in mind to have high income and went at a loss. In this context, Juventus announced in recent days that it is experiencing a serious economic crisis and that to try to balance the finances of the institution they must dispose of at least one of its important players. And among the names that could leave the Turin entity appears that of Cristiano Ronaldo. 

Inter Miami, with David Beckham at the helm, showed real and formal interest in countering him. "Leo (Messi) and Cristiano have been mentioned, they have been at the top of their game and they have been the best for the last 15 years. We want to attract the best players", said the owner of the Florida franchise.

But it is not the only team that wants to have Ronaldo on its roster. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of PSG, also hopes to be able to sign him with the sole objective of conquering Europe. Regardless, priority one for the French is Lionel Messi, who has not yet renewed his contract with Barcelona.

Juventus, in crisis
The big economic problem for Juventus was that in the same period of 2019 it had registered red numbers for 50.3 million euros. The Italian club signed very high contracts (for example, that of Cristiano Ronaldo) that it could not solve and that further complicated its situation with the coronavirus. The reserve of external capital, the investment of its president (Andrea Agnelli) and of a major automotive brand were not enough. What is most worrisome is that it is believed that the numbers will continue to decline until the situation completely normalizes and the fans return.
