Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo could now be set to stay at the club with his agent Jorge Mendes asking the Serie A club for a contract extension.
Juventus clinched Champions League qualification on the final day of the 2020-21 campaign but doubts have remained over Ronaldo’s future.
According to The Athletic, Manchester United have been monitoring his situation, while AS in Spain revealed in May there was contact between him and Solskjaer. The Norwegian coach was said to be eager to bring him back to Old Trafford.
PSG have also been linked with a transfer move for Ronaldo with reports claiming that the French team were in discussions over a £25m deal.
But, Gazzetta dello Sport claim now that Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has now held negotiations with Juventus and has indicated his client would like to extend his deal at the club.
Mendes has proposed a one-year extension to his current contract which would keep the Portugal international with the Bianconeri until 2023.
Juventus’ director of football Federico Cherubini said recently there are ‘no signals’ that Ronaldo wants to leave in the summer.

‘There has been no signal from Ronaldo. Especially the rumours that there should be a transfer and there’s no sign from Juventus in this regard,’ he said.
‘Last season he scored 36 goals in 44 games, the numbers don’t always say everything but hide many truths, we are happy that Ronaldo will join the team as soon as he has finished his holidays.
‘I don’t have the crystal ball, but right now there are no signals regarding a possible transfer.’
