Juventus are adamant Cristiano Ronaldo will return for pre-season training on July 25

Andrea Pirlo was sacked as boss of the Old Lady after they failed to win Serie A last year.

Massimiliano Allegri has returned to the club as part of a huge summer overhaul which many believed Ronaldo would be part of.

The 36-year-old Portuguese legend only has a year left on his contract in Italy and faces an uncertain future at Juve with Paris Saint-Germain believed to be keen to secure his services.

However, Juventus director Pavel Nedved is adamant that the icon has not asked to quit the club a year early.
