Clubs on red alert as coronavirus crises may force Juventus to sell Ronaldo this summer

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner moved to Turin in summer 2018 for £88m. The Portuguese legend earns around £5

  • The five-time Ballon d'Or winner moved to Turin in summer 2018 for £88m.
  • The Portuguese legend earns around £510,000-a-week at the Allianz Stadium, with a contract that runs until 2022.

Clubs including Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Manchester United are closely monitoring the developing situation in Turin as Juventus could be forced to sell Cristiano Ronaldo to settle their financial issues created during coronavirus crises.

The Portuguese legend earns around £510,000-a-week at the Allianz Stadium, with a contract that runs until 2022.

But Italian news-site Il Messaggero claims, the outbreak of Covid-19 could affect Juventus' ability to pay their star man's huge wages.

The Old Lady would demand around £62.5million for the 35-year-old, who is proving that age is just a number with his current form.

There are bound to be a whole host of clubs interested in snapping up the five-time Ballon d'Or winner for one final swansong - although the valuation could prove a sticking point.

There is no doubt that Manchester United fans would love to see him wearing No.7 at Old Trafford again.

With boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is sure to look to strengthening the forward line, with Odion Ighalo snapped up in January as an emergency option.  If the Nigerian ends up going back to Shanghai Shenhua, there will be a central striker role up for grabs - and who better than Ronaldo?

The Red Devils signed CR7 from Sporting Lisbon in 2003 before selling him to Real Madrid for a world record fee of £80m.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo era at Madrid can to an end in summer 2018 with a shocking transfer to Juventus for £88m. It is fair to say that 13-time Champions league winner have struggled to find his replacement.

Karim Benzema is still leading the line at the Bernabeu, while the likes of Luka Jovic, Mariano and Lucas Vasquez have work to do to prove they can score when needed.

A final battle with Lionel Messi in LaLiga could tempt Ronaldo, especially as he trails him five to six in the Ballon d'Or stakes.

With departing Edinson Cavani on a free this summer, Ronaldo could be an ideal option for the French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

And of course if Neymar finally ups sticks and heads back to Spain, their need would become greater.

PSG are of course bankrolled by Qatar Sports Investments, so money shouldn't prove a problem.
