Juventus are ready to hand Cristiano Ronaldo a contract extension that will see the Portuguese forward remain in Italy until he’s at least 38, say reports.
Ronaldo, who turns 36 on Friday, has been in sensational form for the Italian champions this season.

His current deal expires at the end of next season, but Ronaldo is said to feel more and more crucial to Andrea Pirlo’s side and could prolong his stay.
