Cristiano Ronaldo can soon be reunited with a former Juventus teammate. There’s a dedicated focus on revamping the Turin club. Bringing in new talents is the first part of the process, the second part is to end terms with aging players. The former Porto player has found his name on the list.

The relationship between CR7 and Juve has turned sour. Ronaldo has sent a $21.2 million lawsuit to Juventus over the concern of unpaid wages.  The situation seems to be taking a new turn after details suggest there is no foul pay and the wages were paid to each member of the team in full.

After 9 years of donning the black and white stripe jersey, Alex Sandro is set to leave Allianz Stadium next year. The Brazilian was signed from Porto in 2015 and has been an instrumental part of the team for many years. His departure will be a heavy one for Juventus fans who also bid adieu to Juan Cuadrado this season.

Alex Sandro is reportedly being eyed by Al Nassr. The Saudi club generated interest in the player after Juventus decided to not renew Sandro’s contract and let him leave for free. The $3.17 million player has made over 300 appearances for the Turin club.

Juan Cuadrado left Juve to join rivals Inter Milan. Inter Milan currently sits at the top of the Serie A table with 15 points and winning all their 5 league fixtures. Both Sandro and Cuadrado were part of the esteemed Juventus team that reached the 2017 Champions League final. The departure of Sandro will mark the end of an era for the club.
