Donnarumma and Calhanoglu could be heading to Turin

Cristiano Ronaldo’s message on Instagram, the company that moved his cars away from Turin, the appointment of Massimiliano Allegri as a new/old Juventus boss…the signs are there for all to see. The Portuguese looks certain to leave Italy one year before the end of his contract, and yet…

One source, which we can count as 100% reliable says otherwise. Ronaldo’s girlfriend confirmed that the Juve forward is staying. According to the Sun, Georgina Rodriguez said that Ronaldo will continue playing for the Old Lady. Georgina, set to star in her own docu-reality show on Netflix, made her comments as she was filmed walking in the street in her homeland.

She was asked in Spanish: “Is Cristiano staying at Juventus or not?

After a moment’s silence, she turned to the camera filming her and replied: “He’s staying.”

In the recent weeks, much has been written about Ronaldo’s departure, from going back to Manchester United, to returning to Lisabon and play for Sporting. The arrival of Massimiliano Allegri also intensified the rumors, since the player didn’t get along with his former coach during his first tenure at the club. A few people remember the arrogant and underestimating gesture of the Portuguese towards Allegri after being relegated from the Champions League against Ajax. The ones who are familiar with the situation in Continassa claimed that it was a turning point for then-director Fabio Paratici (who left the club recently after 11 years) and Pavel Nedved to go on the offensive to "drive away" Allegri a year before the expiration of his contract. But now the Italian is back, stronger than before.

Apart from Ronaldo, there is three more interesting transfer news from Italian giants. First of all, after it was almost certain that Paulo Dybala will leave the club, Allegri’s arrival changed the situation, as the Italian tactician want’s to keep the Argentinian at the club, per Goal. Dybala has been at Juventus since 2015 and enjoyed much success during Allegri's previous spell in charge.

Other transfer news concerting Juventus have another club – AC Milan in the mix. After they bought Mike Maignan from Lille, Rossoneri decided to let go of their captain and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, as they didn’t want to be blackmailed by his agent Mino Raiola. Since then, Juventus became a strong candidate to bring in the talented keeper, but they need to sell Wojciech Szczesny first. The 31-years old has a 7 million euros wage in Turin, and Juve will have trouble finding a club that will absorb his wage.

But, there will be no problem for another Milan player to come, if the situation is right. Rossoneri’s creative midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu is another soon-to-be free agent, who hasn’t managed to find a solution with the club, regarding his new contract. Milan are standing firm and will not raise their offer to Calhanoglu which currently stands at a four-year extension at €4m net per season plus bonuses. If he refuses, he will be free to go, and Juventus will welcome him with open arms, while Milan will chance Udinese’s high-rated Rodrigo De Paul.
