Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo could leave Juventus in the ongoing transfer window as the Italian giants are planning to rebuild their side under new manager Andrea Pirlo. Despite his exploits in the 2019-20 season, Cristiano Ronaldo is still not "indispensable" in Pirlo's eyes, reports The Sun. Cristiano Ronaldo's super-agent Jorge Mendes is reportedly looking for a new venture for the Portugal skipper. The relationship between the Bianconeri and the 35-year-old has seemingly weakened since Juventus' disappointing Champions League exit against Ligue 1 side Lyon in the Round of 16.
