Cristiano Ronaldo looks increasingly likely to leave Real Madrid this summer after the Spanish giants decided they will accept an £88m offer from Juventus, according to reports.
The 33-year-old hinted that he could leave the Bernabeu directly after Real won their third successive  
Champions League title at the end of May, while he has been agitating for a move since last summer.
Ronaldo is believed to want a significant pay rise that keeps him in line with the new deals handed to Neymar and Lionel Messi by PSG and Barcelona respectively.

Real president Florentino Perez had been unwilling to sanction a new contract for a player in the twilight of his career, and was adamant that Ronaldo would only be sold if his €1billion (£883m) release clause was met.
But now Perez appears to have relented, with El Chiringuito TV show Jugones claiming that Real have decided to accept Juventus’ £88m offer – which is just a tenth of the release clause.
