Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Juventus is not as rock solid as previously thought. His current contract expires in 2022, and the club's Chief Football Officer says that talking about an extension is "not an immediate issue."
The Portuguese star arrived in Turin amid high hopes that he could lead the team to a UEFA Champions League trophy. However, they have so far failed to succeed and are progressively getting worse since 2018.
Earlier this week, Juventus was booted out of the last-16 by Porto. This is the third consecutive season that they have failed to even make it to the semi-finals. As such, it is clear that the plan to secure the trophy via Ronaldo's £85million transfer from Real Madrid has been in vain. It was an attractive prospect for Juventus at the time, considering that Ronaldo had just won four Champions League trophies with the Spanish giants.
