Under the title "Ronaldo After Juventus... The Only 'Logical' Transfer," Sky News published an article discussing the new destination for Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo. The article noted that not a day goes by without news or even rumors about the future of the Portuguese superstar, particularly regarding his possible departure from his current club, Juventus, to a major European team.
Following a series of consecutive reports, the most exciting yet seemingly illogical involved the possibility of his return to Real Madrid, where he excelled for several years until leaving after the 2018 season. Recently, more "reasonable" news has emerged regarding a potential destination for the player that appears logical for both him and his anticipated new club.
Despite Paris Saint-Germain achieving their goal by eliminating Bayern Munich, the defending champions, from the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, the French club's officials remain concerned about the future. According to "TuttoJuve," the French champions are already planning for a near future without their star player Kylian Mbappé.
The young forward has been closely linked with a imminent move to Real Madrid, and PSG hopes to replace him with Ronaldo, according to the Italian site. At the same time, the Parisians are prepared to offer striker Mauro Icardi, who has struggled to shine in Paris, in exchange for the Portuguese legend. The former Inter Milan forward has always been particularly favored by Juventus director Fabio Paratici, who would be pleased to finally bring him on board.
PSG purchased the Argentine star's contract last summer, but competition for a starting position with players like Mbappé, Neymar, and Ángel Di María has significantly limited his appearances and impact. The source also mentioned that Icardi would be happy to return to Italy, where he spent most of his career.
On another note, Ronaldo's contract with Juventus will end in the summer of 2022, and he has yet to agree on a renewal with the club, which may not be able to continue paying his huge salary. The former Real Madrid star is currently earning 31 million euros per season in net salary, and Paris Saint-Germain may be one of the few clubs in the world capable of paying such an exceptional number these days.
