Further title triumphs have been enjoyed with Juve, while the goals have continued to flow for a man who continues to raise the bar when it comes to that particular art form.

A long-term contract has Ronaldo tied to the Bianconeri through to 2022, at which point he will be 37 years old.

Age is just a number of the Portuguese icon, though, and there is every reason to believe that he will play well beyond the end of his current deal.

Said agreement could also be broken if Ronaldo decides he wants out of Turin, with Fonte claiming that steps may be retraced back to Madrid.

“It’s clear that he loves the club itself, it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world, if not the biggest.

“He’s left many, many friends there and he’s always left the door open.

“So I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes back to Real Madrid.”

There have been suggestions that the Blancos would be keen on doing a deal for Ronaldo if he opened himself up to talks.
