Now we don’t talk about anything else. The future of Cristiano Ronaldo is a topic topic. Everyone wants to know if the five-time Golden Ball will continue his adventure in black and white, so until the natural closure of his four-year contract, or if he will get back into the game elsewhere. Probably the first to want to know is the Portuguese himself, even if for the moment he is engaged in European affairs… Anyway, it is only a matter of time. At the end of Euro 2020 (or even during, if Portugal were to leave earlier than expected), Mendes, the agent of CR7 and the most powerful market agent in the football system, will unravel the mystery and inform everyone of the choice of his client.
Honestly, there is a good chunk of Juventus fans who hope that he will pack his bags already this summer. Too conditioning, too cumbersome, too expensive… However, there are also those who remember that, with the Portuguese on the pitch, we almost always start with a goal advantage. The truth is almost certainly somewhere in between. CR7 is a phenomenon and, as such, affects everything and everyone. Allegri’s new Juventus would like to take shape without limitations or conditioning. With the Portuguese star in pink, it is impossible to do what you want. He gives you many guarantees on the pitch but forces you to adapt to his will. It has always been like this and it will always be like this …
And then there is the salary issue: 31 million net for another season. A huge amount in time of Covid. What to do? There would be an alternative solution. CR7 could also decide to renew for another season with Juventus, spreading his salary over two years. Translated: to halve the salary, having in exchange one more year of contract. Thus the economic question would be resolved. Then, speaking with Allegri, he could convince himself not to have to play always and in any case. It could become a space resource if it started, every now and then from the bench. Not bad, right? Come on, do you really think that someone like Cristiano Ronaldo, a person and player with a huge ego, can accept all these stakes? One who, rubbing shoulders with the role of Coca Cola at Euro 2020 (main sponsor for those who still don’t know), urges to “… drink water”, could he ever put the good of all the others before him? Impossible…
So, we just have to wait for Mr. Mendes to do his job and tell us where the one who loves water and gold will play next year …
In the meantime, what can Juventus do? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Until His Majesty makes the final decision, all immobilized. He decides who, how and when things happen. Coca Cola also understood it …
