Juventus chief Paratici: Ronaldo exit talk makes me laugh

Juventus chief Fabio Paratici has scoffed at claims Cristiano Ronaldo is set to leave this summer.

Paratici was speaking before kickoff against Cagliari, where Ronaldo go onto to score a hat-trick.

Paratici said, "It makes me laugh. I never imagined Ronaldo could be put into question. I grew up in a small town and I heard people discussing Platini, Rivera, Baggio, top players inside bars.

"Ronaldo won five Ballon d'Ors, I don't know how many Champions League. He won so many trophies and scored so many goals at Juventus. It's a privilege to have him here, we are happy to have him here.

"He surely represents the future of Juventus," he added.
