However, the chances of the Portuguese returning to the Premier League club have been cut down in the last 24 hours according to bookmakers Betfair.
The forward's current deal with the Old Lady expires in the summer of 2022 but he might be put up for sale in January according to SunSport.
Juve wants to expunge Ronaldo out of their pay list owing to his £540,000-a-week wages to offset the financial impact of COVID-19.
