Cristiano Ronaldo joined from Real Madrid last summer and is on the verge of clinching the Scudetto.
Boss Massimiliano Allegri has been impressed with the forward’s first season in Italy and insists he is “the future” of Juventus.
Allegri’s side can put their Champions League disappointment behind them with a win over Fiorentina today to seal an eighth successive Serie A crown.
Juve’s European dreams were ended by a resolute Ajax side with a stunning quarter-final win in Turin during the week.
Ronaldo scored both home and away against the Dutch outfit, who eventually went through on the away goals rule.
While acknowledging that the Portuguese star’s brilliance alone was not enough, manager Allegri predicted he will lead the fight once again next term.
“Cristiano is the future of Juventus. He did very well this year and will do so the next,” Allegri said.
“Of course he is disappointed, like all of us are, but he’s calm about it.
“Cristiano plus Juventus doesn’t equal a guaranteed Champions League – this is how football is.
“Now we have to move on and think about winning the Scudetto, which will be the result of a great season.”
