      Juventus midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur saw red for two yellow cards with 35 minutes left and Inter’s Marcelo Brozovic suffered the same fate in stoppage time.
      Victory put fallen champs Juve back in the top four, but Lazio are just two points behind and visit Fiorentina on Sunday for their game in hand.
      Ronaldo pounced on 24 minutes from close in after his spot-kick was parried.
      Romelu Lukaku levelled 11 minutes later from another spot-kick awarded following a video review.
      But Cuadadro smashed home a deflected shot to restore Juve’s lead in first-half stoppage time.
      Inter surged back, though, once Bentancur was sent off 10 minutes after the break.
      Juventus manager Andrea Pirlo replaced Ronaldo with Alvaro Morata a quarter of an hour later.

      But Giorgio Chiellini’s 83rd minute own goal seemed to have earned Inter at least a point.
      Juve and Italy skipper Chiellini claimed he was being tugged by Lukaku.
      But after video replays, the equaliser stood and it was Chiellini who was booked for holding the Belgium striker.
      Five minutes later, though, former Manchester United target Ivan Perisic was ruled to have impeded Cuadrado inside the box.

      And Colombia wideman Cuadrado knocked home a penalty clincher.
      Brozonic then summed up a rare afternoon to forget for Inter in their otherwise superb Serie A campaign. 
      The Croatia anchorman was dismissed for his second booking, following a late tackle on Cuadrado.

      Cristiano Ronaldo ‘abandoned’ by Juventus dressing room with team-mates ‘sick of his perks’ following Ferrari day trip

      by

      He was allowed a day off to collect his new £1.4million Ferrari Monza from the supercar manufacturer’s base in Maranello.
      The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was accompanied by Juventus’ President Andrea Agnelli and Exor Chairman and CEO John Elkann.
      Such a privilege is described as upsetting Ronaldo’s Old Lady pals, who were hauled in after they lost 3-0 to AC Milan on the weekend.
      And the report adds that many Juventus players believe the club give the former Real Madrid star too much freedom.
      FREE BETS: GET OVER £2,000 IN SIGN UP OFFERS HERE
      SunSport previously reported that Ronaldo was targeted by the Italian press after ‘one of his worst games EVER’ against AC Milan.
      That defeat left the Old Lady’s Champions League fate out of their own hands – one point adrift of fourth-placed Napoli with three games to go.
      And that could spell disaster for Juve, with Ronaldo potentially set to quit – with former club Sporting Lisbon said to be keen on a reunion.
      Another of his former teams, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain are also rumoured to be monitoring the situation.

      Not only would Ronaldo reportedly have second thoughts about playing in the Europa League, Juventus may not be able to afford his wages.
      The Bianconeri are facing financial problems due to the pandemic that would only get worse by missing out on Europe’s top club competition.
      Talks are due to be held between the club and player at the end of the season, when there will be a year left on Ronaldo’s contract.

      ROMA will hand incoming boss Jose Mourinho a £60million warchest as they eye a Champions League return.That’s according to Italian outlet Corriere Dello Sport, with Tottenham’s Eric Dier and Wolves keeper Rui Patricio reported targets.

      It’s also claimed ex-Spurs chief Mourinho has identified players he is ready to offload, especially in defence.
      That rearguard shake-up could see exits for Brazilians Bruno Peres and Juan Jesus, Argentinian Federico Fazio and Italy left-back Davide Santon.
      A new stopper is thought to be high up Mourinho’s list of priorities.
      Calciomercato believe third-choice Manchester United keeper Sergio Romero and Borussia Monchengladbach’s Switzerland No1 Yann Sommer are in contention.
      Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon, 43, has also been mentioned as he prepares to leave Juventus this summer.
      Mourinho’s Portuguese compatriot Patricio could be in the frame too, following three impressive years with Wolves.

      The 92-cap star’s contract runs out next year.
      And at 33, his £8.6million valuation would not deter Mourinho.
      Further forward, versatile England ace Dier has been the Spurs player most commonly linked with a Mourinho reunion.

      Man City have four-man transfer list to replace Sergio Aguero in summer including Erling Haaland and Harry Kane

      by

      ERLING HAALAND and Harry Kane are just two names on Manchester City’s four-man shortlist to replace Sergio Aguero in the summer.The Citizens legend will depart the Etihad after ten trophy-laden years when his contract expires at the end of the season.

      Tottenham’s Harry Kane is another potential option to replace Sergio Aguero at the EtihadCredit: AFP
      SunSport understands the 32-year-old is close to agreeing a deal to join Barcelona, though he may be forced into taking a £100,000-a-week cut from the £250k-a-week wages he currently earns.
      Pep Guardiola has been tasked with finding the perfect replacement for the Argentine marksman to compete with Gabriel Jesus up top.
      And according to The Times, the Spaniard will be backed in his pursuit of a new centre-forward, with four players being indentified.
      Borussia Dortmund ace Erling Haaland is claimed to be on City’s shortlist following another superb season in Germany.
      The 20-year-old banged in a double against RB Leipzig on Thursday to help BVB win the German Cup to bring up an astonishing 39 goals for the campaign.
      Haaland boasts a release clause of £65million that can be triggered next year, with Dortmund seeking £130m to sell him this summer.
      Tottenham’s Harry Kane is another option, though the England skipper is likely to cost in the region of £150m.
      It is believed that City will only make a move for the 27-year-old should Guardiola demand the ex-Leyton Orient loanee’s signing.

      The other two players on City’s radar are said to be Inter Milan star Lautaro Martinez and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Andre Silva.
      Martinez has been instrumental in helping Inter win their first Serie A title since 2010 having fired in 16 goals in 36 Italian top-flight matches.
      And Silva has also enjoyed a fruitful campaign for the Bundesliga outfit, having found the back of the net 25 times in 30 league outings.

      Both Martinez and Silva would prove to be cheaper alternatives to Haaland and Kane.
      City are also in advanced talks to sign Sporting Lisbon left-back Nuno Mendes as Guardiola looks to bolster his backline.

      Jose Mourinho ‘wants to bring Gianluigi Buffon to Roma on free transfer and take 43-year-old’s career into 26th season’

      by

      JOSE MOURINHO wants to sign legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon for Roma, according to reports.The iconic Italian, 43, is available on a free transfer at the end of the season and will enter his 26th season as a pro if he decides to carry on playing.

      Buffon recently announced he will leave Juventus this summer when his contract expires.
      And the veteran goalie admitted he is not sure whether to retire or continue playing.
      Should Buffon decide not to hang up his gloves just yet, he is set to have plenty of options to choose from.
      And one of those is Juve’s Serie A rivals Roma, according to TuttoSport.
      SunSport columnist Mourinho is looking to strengthen his goalkeeping department when he takes over from Paolo Fonseca.
      And the Portuguese boss is said to have highlighted the reliable Italian.
      Buffon has played 684 times for Juventus during two spells, with his first lasting 17 seasons.
      Before he joined Juventus in 2001, Buffon built his reputation in 220 games for fellow Italians Parma.
      FREE BETS: GET OVER £2,000 IN SIGN UP OFFERS HERE

      And the 2018-19 campaign saw him play 25 times for French side Paris Saint-Germain before rejoining Juve.
      As a result, Buffon has won numerous club trophies, including ten Serie A titles, one Ligue 1 title and five Italian Cups.
      Buffon was also capped a staggering 176 times by Italy and played a key role in their triumph at the 2006 World Cup.
      He is said to have offers on the table from several clubs around Europe including Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon, Eintracht Frankfurt and Galatasaray.
      Greek side Olympiacos and Ukrainians Dynamo Kiev are the other teams said to have sent proposals.
      Elsewhere, Roma have also been linked with a move for Man Utd outcast Sergio Romero.
      The goalkeeper has not played a single minute for the Red Devils this season and is certain to leave in the summer when his contract expires.
      Romero, 34, is an Argentina international but also has an Italian passport.
      Him and Mourinho are said to have had an excellent relationship when the Portuguese boss was in charge at Old Trafford.
      And Romero put his stunning £3.5million mansion up for sale in March – all-but confirming he will leave.

      by

      Thousands of Sporting fans took to the streets as their team claimed the Primeira Liga for the first time since 2002.
      But the mood turned violent as supporters clashed with riot police who fired rubber bullets after fans broke down metal barriers keeping them at bay.
      Earlier in the evening on Tuesday, the Portuguese outfit pipped Porto to the title with a 1-0 win over Boavista.
      And Ronaldo’s mum Dolores was jubilant.
      She posted a video of herself on her Instagram story dancing and singing.
      And she was also spotted on her balcony – which was draped in Sporting flags – late into the night celebrating.
      Fans had gathered outside her building and were chanting and shouting.
      Ronaldo, 36, started his career at Sporting before moving to Manchester United and the supporters started singing his name.

      The singing died down and a voice was heard shouting up to the balcony before Dolores yelled back: “I’ll talk to him [Cristiano] to bring him back.”
      Ronaldo’s whole family support Lisbon based Sporting and his sponsorship with Nike could help facilitate a move back if he leaves Juve this summer.
      The Portugal captain reportedly earns £14.7million-a-year to be the footballing face of the sportswear giants after signing a ten-year deal worth £147m in 2016.
      Record reports that with Nike replacing Macron as the club’s kit supplier next season the link could help facilitate a stunning return for Ronaldo – who left the club in 2003.
      Ronnie is on the verge of leaving Juventus and has reportedly been isolated by the Old Lady dressing room as his team-mates believe he has too much freedom.
      Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport claim tensions are boiling over in Turin after the Portuguese missed training on Monday.

      Everton star Moise Kean lined up to replace Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus if they miss out on Champions League

      by

      JUVENTUS are reportedly lining up a shock move for Everton hitman Moise Kean – to replace club talisman Cristiano Ronaldo.Ronaldo’s future at the Allianz Stadium was thrown into doubt after it became mathematically impossible for Juve to win the Scudetto.

      The Portuguese could opt to end his time in Turin if the Old Lady – who are currently fifth in the Serie A table – miss out on Champions League football.
      And according to reports, the Juve top brass are preparing for life without the five-time Ballon d’Or winner by lining up a bid for Kean.
      That’s according to Tuttosport, who claim the Serie A big boys will look to sign two new strikers if Ronaldo – who has a year left on his current contract – leaves for pastures new.
      Juventus sold Italy international Kean to Everton two years ago for an initial fee of £25million.
      The 21-year-old, however, is currently on a season-long loan with French champions Paris Saint-Germain – where he’s scored 16 goals in 39 appearances.
      In addition to casting doubt over Ronaldo’s future, Juve’s poor season has heaped huge pressure on manager Andrea Pirlo.

      But club vice-chairman Pavel Nedved insists neither man will leave Turin this summer.
      In an interview with Italian outlet Striscia la Notizia, he said: “Pirlo and Ronaldo will stay at Juventus.
      “There are some difficulties, but we’ll fight until the end.”
      The under-pressure Pirlo has vowed to fight until the very end, saying: “I have undertaken this job with a lot of enthusiasm, there are difficulties but my work goes on and I am available.
      “I think I can do better and be able to get out of it, together with the team.

      “We have to look forward, I will continue to do my job as long as I am allowed.
      “We had actually started fairly well in the match, but we lost our way and this was the final result.
      “It’s difficult to explain now. There were many components that didn’t work.”
      Nedved and Pirlo’s comments came just a few days before PSG star Neymar seemingly urged Ronaldo to end his career with the Ligue 1 giants.
      The Brazilian told GQ: “I want to play with Cristiano RonaldO.
      “I have already played with great players, like [Lionel] Messi and [Kylian] Mbappe, but I haven’t played with Cristiano Ronaldo yet.”
      Ronaldo and his Juventus team-mates will be back in action on Saturday evening, welcoming newly-crowned Italian champions Inter Milan to the Allianz Stadium.

      Man Utd interested in Cristian Romero transfer with Atalanta defender joining Sven Botman and Jules Kounde on shortlist

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have added Atalanta centre-back Cristian Romero to their transfer shortlist, according to reports.The Red Devils are said to be keen on the 23-year-old along with Lille star Sven Botman and Sevilla ace Jules Kounde.

      United are eager to sign a new partner for captain Harry Maguire and the trio are their most-wanted, according to Sky Sports.
      Romero is on loan at Atalanta from Juventus.
      And although they are expected to make the deal permanent in line with the £21.5million obligation to buy clause, Atalanta are said to be willing to sell this summer for £34m.
      Having secured Edinson Cavani for another season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is free to focus his search for a defender.
      SunSport exclusively revealed in March that United were eyeing up a move for Kounde to pair him alongside Maguire.
      The 22-year-old has had another outstanding season in Spain, helping his side to fourth in LaLiga and closing in on securing a Champions League spot.
      He is also said to be available for £50m.
      Sevilla had originally wanted around £70m up front for the former Bordeaux ace, with clauses and add-ons included on top of that.

      Kounde was close to joining rivals City last year, but a £65m-plus move collapsed at the last-minute over Nicolas Otamendi being part of the deal.
      It is believed he has an £87.4m release clause inserted into his £70,000-a-week Sevilla contract which runs until 2024.
      United would be willing to at least double those terms if he was to join, alongside incentives for appearances, clean sheets and winning trophies.
      At Lille, Dutchman Botman has been on the radar of Europe’s biggest clubs for some time.
      Liverpool were keen on the centre-back in January but the Ligue 1 side were desperate to hold on to him until at least this summer which could open the door to United.
