The repercussions of Juventus's exit from the UEFA Champions League are almost certainly expected to introduce several changes at the club.

Following Juventus's lack of success in the UEFA Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo's future has been cast into the dark, with Juventus making it clear that he is no longer a part of their plans.

The latest reports from Marca claim that Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes has made contact with Real Madrid over the possibility of a sensational return to the Spanish capital. The report claims that both Madrid and Ronaldo have been worse off since the Portuguese star left the club and both parties would welcome a reunion.

The report also claims that Juventus are likely to agree to let him go since his gargantuan wage demands haven't translated into Champions League success.
