Juventus are reportedly planning to part ways with five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of this season.

The 36-year-old moved to the Turin club in a deal of around £100 million in 2018 but he has failed to live up to his billing at the Allianz Stadium.

Juve lured him away from Real Madrid three years ago to help them win another Champions League title since 1996 having won the title three straight times for Los Blancos.

Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano reveals the Old Lady will not stop the attacker from leaving if he chooses to at the end of the season as reported by SunSport.

Andrea Pirlo's men were dumped out of the competition by FC Porto 4-4 on aggregate but the Portuguese club progressed to the next stage on away goals rule.

Last campaign, it was Lyon that stopped them from reaching the quarterfinals while Ajax became a thorn in their next two seasons ago.

And Romano claims Juve are ready to let Ronaldo go if he doesn’t want to stay past the end of the season. He said:

“Juventus doesn’t keep players who want to leave the club. If Cristiano decided to leave, they’ll let him leave. He hasn’t said anything to the club and at the moment they are happy and planning with him.”

The Turin-based club will now focus their attention on winning the 10th Serie A title but must chase Inter Milan who are at the top of the table with 62 points.

Legit.ng earlier reported that former president at Juventus football club Giovanni Gigli has urged the Old Lady to allow striker Cristiano Ronaldo to leave the club at the end of the season.

The 36-year-old has continued to receive heavy criticisms over the club’s early exit from this season’s UEFA Champions League.

The Portuguese superstar was blamed for jumping in a ‘wall’ which allowed Sergio Oliviera to grab his second goal for Porto from a 30-yard freekick.
