Georgina Rodriguez, the partner of Cristiano Ronaldo, has revealed that the Juventus striker is staying in Turin.
There has been speculation about the future of the attacker after he reportedly moved his luxury cars back to Portugal.
The just-concluded campaign was a tough one for the Bianconeri as they toiled to earn a place in the Italian top four.
They won the Italian Cup and the Super Cup but struggled in the league and Champions League.
Ronaldo played his part well by scoring the goals that should be enough to earn them another Serie A title, but it wasn’t to be.
Being the best-paid player in the team doesn’t help if it is underperforming and the attacker was under serious scrutiny this season.
Several reports suggested that he would leave the club especially if they don’t qualify for the Champions League.
They made the top four, but there are uncertainties about his prolonged stay at the club still.
Georginia was filming a docuseries and a fan asked her if Ronaldo would leave or stay at Juve and her reply on Instagram was “He’s staying.”
It remains to be seen if this will be good or bad news for Juventus.
How can it be anything but bad news if he stays?
In 2018 Juve had won the double, and the sesaon before the double + a CL final
In 2018 Juve was no 9 on Forbes Top 10 list for Most Valuable Clubs
In 2021 Juve hasn’t won the Scudetto, and was 1 goal (Veronas against Napoli) from not qualifying for the CL
(Allthough doing their bit trashing Bologna 1-4 in a game, where Ronaldo was benched the whole game, playing brilliantly as a team)
In 2018 Juve has crashed out of Forbes Top 10 list -at no 11
Being overtaken by Tottenham (no 10) wort 350 m. US$ more & PSG (no 9) worth 550 m. US$ -that’s more than 1/2 a billion US$ more, and they werent even in Top 10 in 2018
In 2018 Juve was competetive both sportingwise & financially
In 2021 Juve is not competetive either way
So what happened in 2018 that has run Juve to the ground both sportingwise & financially?
Note: In 2021 of course (not 2018) Juve has crashed out of Forbes Top 10 list -at no 11
This is terrible terrible news. Another year of before par lunacy catering to one player with the most toxic fabase on Earth.
