Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo lives for the Champions League and Milan goalkeeper Gigio Donnarumma doesn’t want to miss out. On Sunday the two clash in a direct battle for qualification.
The Rossoneri are still waiting for Donnarumma, who has yet to reach an agreement over a new deal at San Siro.
The Italy international wants to play in the Champions League and, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, qualifying for the prestigious competition could help the club convince the Italy international.
Hakan Calhanoglu is another Milan player on an expiring contract and a place in the Champions League could help Milan on the transfer market, should they have to replace the Turkey international.
Donnarumma has even been linked with a move to Juventus in recent weeks, with reports claiming Mino Raiola has informed Milan that he has received proposals worth €10m a season for the shot stopper.
Juventus are in a particular situation too, with Ronaldo on a reported net salary of €31m and during the coronavirus pandemic.
Ronaldo reportedly wants to leave but the club could struggle to sell the Portuguese superstar this summer.
Reports claim Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United are the two most likely options, and Ronaldo will reportedly push even harder for move if the Old Lady fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Ronaldo wants to compete at the top level in his final years and without the Champions League, Juventus would struggle to keep him on his current salary, but also struggle to replace him with a top striker on the transfer market.
On Sunday, the two sides clash in Turin and former coach Fabio Capello believes the team who lose ‘will be out’ of the top four battle.
This weekend's match could be decisive for the upcoming transfer market and for the future of Donnarumma and Ronaldo.
