And the Serie A giants have set an incredibly low asking price for the Portugal superstar.

Ronaldo, now 36, joined Juventus for €100 million in 2018 and has been the club’s top scorer since.

In a puzzle yet to be solved by Juventus, they have struggled to be as competitive in Europe with Ronaldo as they were before his arrival.

Since Ronaldo joined the club, Juventus have been knocked out in the Champions League quarter-finals by Ajax Amsterdam in 2018/19, by Olympique Lyon in the last 16 in 2019/20 and by Porto in the last 16 this campaign.

The bargain price has reportedly alerted the likes of Paris Saint-German, while his former teams Real Madrid and Manchester United could also be interested.
