Portuguese international, Cristiano Ronaldo 36, has one year left on his current deal at Juventus and was expected to leave the club this summer for one last challenge But, things have changed.

With several months of speculations linking him with a move away from Turin, to either old Trafford or Paris, Cristiano Ronaldo now looks likely to extend his stay at Juventus by another year by signing until 2023.

Italian media outlets are now expecting the Juventus forward to pen a new contract at the Allianz Stadium. La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sport Mediaset have written of his anticipated extension on Monday, with the latter stating that it could be signed and sealed at some point this week.

Sport Mediaset reported that Jorge Mendes Ronaldo’s agent, is due to travel to Turin and a final meeting between the player’s agent and the club could be organised before the European Championship final.

Ronaldo will turn 37 next season and 38 before the proposed extension will expire, so time is running out in his career if he is to play for Manchester United and Sporting CP again before he hangs up his boots.
