Juventus posted losses of £97.5million earlier this season.
And with the 36-year-old pocketing a staggering £540,000-a-week until 2022, Juventus may be forced to let Ronaldo leave a year early to help balance the books.
The five-time Ballon d’Or is unlikely to be short of options as SunSport picks five clubs he could join next.
Paris Saint-Germain
The mega-rich French giants are one of few European clubs who could meet his wage demands.
With Kylian Mbappe and Neymar’s futures surrounded in doubt, a short-term deal for Ronaldo may not be out of the question.
PSG have been linked with Ronaldo in the past with speculation that his agent Jorge Mendes has previously met with sporting director Leonardo.

Manchester United
Ronaldo could find the lure of returning to his former stomping ground too tempting to turn down.
The Red Devils have been linked with a switch for their former star and would be interested in talking to Ronaldo over a potential deal.
Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in the market for a new forward having seen a move for Jadon Sancho collapse last summer.

Any Chinese club
If Ronaldo feels he has achieved everything he can in Europe, a lucrative move to China may not be out of the question.
The Chinese Super League has lured some huge names in recent years including the likes of Oscar, Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano.
A move to Asia would allow for one final massive pay day before hanging up his boots.
Real Madrid
Only Ronaldo could achieve a record of 450 goals in 438 appearances for Los Blancos.
His Portuguese team-mate Jose Fonte once revealed how Ronaldo has always left the door open for a return to the Bernabeu in the future.
He won eight major pieces of silverware at Real Madrid including four Champions League titles.
