Cristiano Ronaldo has relegated by Juventus’s media and advertising team, with a number of his team-mates prioritised to show off the club’s new kits.
Matthijs De Ligt, Rodrigo Bentancur, Weston McKennie and Paulo Dybala have been chosen to take prominence for the campaign which is designed to increase sales, whilst showing off the new designs, and this isn’t likely to go down too well with our in-house superstar, who is known to love the attention on himself.
The DailyMail claims that this a strong hint that the Portuguese’s future at the club is in doubt, with much of the onus on the other players to bring in the sales.
Dybala has been linked with a potential exit this summer, but with him given a strong showing by the media team, that could well pour cold water on those rumours, while this could also be seen as a blow to Ronaldo.
The Old Lady are expected to bring in a new striker this summer, with question marks over our ability to strike a deal to keep Alvaro Morata beyond his current loan spell, as well as the fact that we struggle to have two forwards fit for much of the previous campaign.
An exit for Ronaldo(or Dybala) would also further enhance the need to bring in a new striker.

Good. I want my fanbase back and the chance for the team to breathe
btw if he`s not willing to take a pay cut as is rumour, and holding the club to ransom…tell him you won`t….and don`t play him. Pure greed.
While I think he will leave Juve, this isn not a good indicator. CR7 is a Nike sponsored player. He is contractually not allowed to feature in most of Juve’s advertising for Adidas branded items. It’s the same reason why he was never front and centre in Real Madrid kit reveals either. Incidentally, it’s the same reason, Messi is barely features in Barcelona kit reveals. If he was allowed to feature prominently, Juve would be foolish not to plaster his face everywhere. He has 5x the social media presence that Juve has. I’m sure that if they could, Juve would feature him as much as possible even if they intend to sell him. Make some more money off him then cash in while you can still get a good transfer fee.
Not greed.He know his worth.He is not just a player.He is a Star more valuable than all juventus players. They are biteless that’s what weakens Ronaldo.He needs a sharp thinking team as he is fast.
