Ronaldo told he has 'more responsibility' now as Allegri 'expects a lot' from Juventus striker

The returning Bianconeri boss says the Portuguese forward must provide a shining example for the younger players in his squad

Cristiano Ronaldo has been told he has "more responsibility" at Juventus now by Massimiliano Allegri, who says he "expects a lot" from the striker in 2021-22.

Ronaldo returned to Juve training on Monday after months of speculation over his future in Turin, with his current contract now only 12 months away from its expiry date.

Bianconeri vice-chairman Pavel Nedved has insisted that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner will be staying put, though, and returning boss Allegri has already warned him that he will be required to provide a shining example for the younger members of his squad to look up to when the new season kicks off.
