Juventus director Fabio Paratici quashes rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo with an exit from the club after their Champions League elimination at the hands of Porto.

Juventus managing director Fabio Paratici has affirmed that there is no doubt over Cristiano Ronaldo's future with the Old Lady.

After Andrea Pirlo's side were dumped out of the Champions League in heartbreaking fashion by Porto, Ronaldo has been linked with returns to either Real Madrid or Manchester United in the next transfer window, while Paris Saint-Germain are also thought to be keen.

However, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner recently played down talk of him leaving, and now, club chief Paratici has quashed rumours that the 36-year-old could be heading for the exit door in a few months' time.

When asked by Sky Italia if Juventus expect to keep Ronaldo for the 2021-22 campaign and beyond, Paratici responded: "Without doubt.

"It makes me laugh, I never would've thought Ronaldo could be put up for discussion. We're talking about a player who is the current top scorer in Serie A and has won five Ballon d'Or awards.

"He has already won a lot of titles with us and it's a privilege to have him in our squad. We will hold onto him and enjoy him as much as possible. We're very happy to have him with us."

Ronaldo's existing deal with the Serie A champions is set to expire at the end of next season, and Paratici had previously admitted that no talks have been planned over a contract extension.
