Cristiano Ronaldo to PSG?
Cristiano Ronaldo has been linked with a move away from Turin after getting knocked out of the Champions League. Juventus failed to edge past Lyon in the round of 16 of the competition, despite the 35-year-old netting twice in the second leg. With the score ticking at 2-2 over the two-legged tie, Juventus were knocked out due to the away goal rule.
The defeat saw the sacking of manager Maurizio Sarri after just one season at the Allianz Stadium. Despite guiding Juventus to a ninth consecutive Serie A title, president Andrea Agneill was seemingly unhappy with the way things were being worked out under the former Chelsea and Napoli boss. He was subsequently replaced by club legend Andrea Pirlo.
