TURIN, ITALY (REUTERS) - Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said Cristiano Ronaldo has told him that he will stay at the club this season, something the new boss believes guarantees goals for the Serie A giants.

The Portugal star has been linked with a move to a host of clubs this summer, with reports in Spain suggesting that he could return to Real Madrid, while the Italian media speculated that the 36-year-old has been offered to English Premier League champions Manchester City.
