Juventus’ desire to renew Ronaldo’s contract could be their search for Champions League glory as they look to win their first title since the 1995-96 season. Last year, the Italian giants’ Champions League run was ended by Ajax in the quarter-finals and with this year’s campaign looking likely to be scrapped off due to coronavirus fears, the ‘Old Lady’ might have to wait to get their hands on the elusive trophy.
Speaking of Cristiano Ronaldo, the 35-year-old is currently back in his hometown of Madeira as he has been in self-isolation as a precautionary measure due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Football in Italy is suspended until April 3 and Ronaldo could return back onto the field once the suspension of the league is lifted.
