His contract with the Serie A champions expires in 2022 meaning he will still have at least three years at a top European club.

But TuttoSport have poured doubt on whether Ronaldo will see out his contract at Juventus because he ‘doesn’t have a romantic relationship’ with the Old Lady.

They have ruled out a big money move to China or America because Ronaldo still wants to challenge for major trophies.

Paris Saint-Germain remain an option, especially if and when Neymar and Kylian Mbappe leave the club.

Ronaldo, who has the physicality of a man ten years his junior, revealed it will be a psychological decision when he retires from football.

He told Marca: “Much will depend on what I feel, on my motivation.

“Physically it will never be a problem.

“I am treating myself well and I think can play safely up to 40 years.

“The most important factor, honestly, will be more psychological – that will be the one that makes the difference.

“In any case, everything has a beginning and an end. I won’t last a lifetime but I still feel strong enough to continue winning.

“I will stop if I have no incentives.”
