Juventus Transfers: 4 summer moves that could appease Cristiano Ronaldo
Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo could be headed for the exit door if the Bianconeri do not defeat Bologna on Sunday night in the final match of the Serie A season. The Bianconeri secured the Coppa Italia at mid-week by beating Atalanta 2-1, but their Champions League future hangs in the balance on the final Serie A matchday.
Even if Juve win and make it into the marquee competition, Ronaldo could still be disgruntled with all that has transpired this season. So let’s take a look at some summer moves that could help convince the No. 7 to stay fully committed to Juventus.
Signing Robin Gosens from Atalanta
Robin Gosens is one of the hardest-working wide men in Italian football. There may be some manufactured drama by the press between Gosens and Ronaldo based around a shirt snub, but that’s a non-issue here.
Ronaldo knows what Gosens can bring to the table, and Gosens knows the prestige associated with playing for the Bianconeri.
Gosens can add good defending, goal contributions, and a whole lot of running and chance-creation down that left flank for Juve. He can play at either left back or left midfielder in Andrea Pirlo’s 4-4-2. And if Pirlo goes with a back three, Gosens is obviously a perfect fit, given his role with La Dea.
