'The sooner Ronaldo leaves, the better' - Ex-Juventus president Gigli wants forward out of the club

The star was benched for the Serie A opener and is reportedly angling to move to Manchester City - and the former Turin supremo wants him gone

Former Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli says Cristiano Ronaldo is hindering the club's attempts to win back the Serie A title and wants him to be sold before the transfer window closes.

Ronaldo joined Juve from Real Madrid in a €100 million transfer ahead of the 2018-19 campaign and signed a lucrative four-year contract. He is now into the final year of that deal and a move away from the club has been mooted.
