It was in Kiev where the news of Cristiano Ronaldo perhaps moving on from Real Madrid truly heated up.

He said after the game that he did not know where he would be next season, that his future at his current side was uncertain. This was right when Los Blancos had just won the Champions League, a time when it was supposed to be a night of celebration, a night about a team and collective force winning - but instead Ronaldo made it all about him.

If he were to leave Real, where would he go? What would really be a step up for the Portugal attacker? The only answer to that - with hardened rivals Barcelona out of the equation - would be Bayern Munich, Juventus or a return to Manchester United.

Imagine that: Ronaldo back in the Premier League, tearing it up again at Old Trafford. We can only dream.

But well, it could be that Ronaldo has opted for Italy, with the Juventus sporting director, Beppe Marotta, saying today: "Should Juventus fans dream about Ronaldo? I won't say anything..."

Juventus CEO Beppe Marotta hunted down in Torino by journalists asking about Cristiano Ronaldo and he only replied no comment. Usually he is quick to dismiss rumors...

Same happened with Higuain too.Marotta didn't comment when reporters asked about Higuain to Juve rumors

Even if you're not a Juve fan, the destination of Ronaldo is of concern to everyone who enjoys football. The Turin side have been dominating Italy in recent years but could never quite get the Champions League trophy over the line in that time. Could Ronaldo be the one to change that?
