Ronaldo | New video suggests he may be heading to Lisbon this summer

A new video has emerged that appears to suggest Cristiano Ronaldo may be on the move from Juventus.

Footage of seven of the Portuguese's supercars being removed from his Turin mansion during the night, in a truck reportedly bound for Lisbon.

Juventus have suffered their poorest domestic campaign in years, and there are suggestions that to rebuild the club that they will have to move on Ronaldo's £540,000 a week wages.

The video emerged on Italian website Per Sempre Calcio.

Under-fire Juve manager Andrea Pirlo has defended Ronaldo's substitution during their 3-2 win over Inter Milan.

"I think it was the first time he was happy to be subbed off," Pirlo told Sky Italia.

"We were one man down, and he'd have been chasing shadows. He was happy and smiling in the dressing room."

Pirlo's son, Nicolo, has revealed the extent of the abuse directed to the manager and his family.

"I'm not a person who judges, I don't like doing it, everyone has the right to be able to say what they want," he wrote on Instagram, "I'm the first to do it and I would never want anyone to take away my freedom of speech."

"My parents taught me to have ideas and above all to listen to those of others, but I believe that there is a limit to everything and this limit has already been exceeded for some time."

Referring to a direct message sent to him which read, "You must die with your father", Nicolo wrote, "I am 17 years old and every day I receive messages of this kind.

"Not because I do something in particular, but only because I am the son of a coach who probably, as it should be, you may not like it.

"This would be my 'fault' and the reason why I receive messages of wishing me death and various insults every day.

"I would like to ask you to put yourselves in my shoes for just a second and ask you how you would feel".

Pirlo will see out the rest of the season with Juventus, but beyond that his future remains uncertain.
