Andrea Pirlo remains confident that Cristiano Ronaldo will be at Juventus next season despite speculation suggesting that a return to Real Madrid could be on the cards for the Portuguese superstar.
Questrions are being asked of how long the five-time Ballon d’Or winner will be sticking around in Turin after the 36-year-old came in for criticism on the back of another disappointing Champions League exit for the Bianconeri at the last-16 stage.
It has been suggested that Ronaldo could retrace his steps to Spain after three years in Italy, but his current coach believes a contract that is due to run until the summer of 2022 will be honoured by a talismanic part of his plans.
