Cristiano Ronaldo: the reasons why he would not continue at Juventus

After three years of disappointment in Europe, Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus are considering parting ways. The elimination with Porto, third after those that came against Ajax and Lyon, certifies the failure of a marriage that was born with the aim of winning the Champions League and which is now the axis of controversy in Italy.

Keeping the Portuguese (whose salary exceeds 30 million euros) costs the Vecchia Signora around 87 million euros per season. Too much, especially if they do not seem to improve his European path, the objective that pushed Andrea Agnelli to throw the house out the window and get his signing. The doubts, however, are also held by the former Real Madrid player himself.

As reported today by 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', no "mea culpa" came from the Portuguese environment after the disappointment with Porto and he pointed to the rest of the team: "What is filtered from his 'clan' is the idea that this Juve is not at his height", published the newspaper.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored more European goals in his final year with Real Madrid, 15, than in his three Italian seasons (14). His numbers with Juve are still outstanding (92 goals in 121 games), but something, in the Champions League, has not worked. And it could convince both parties to say goodbye in the coming months.
