Cristiano Ronaldo isn't enjoying the best season of his career and neither are his club, Juventus.
The 36-year-old has scored 25 goals in 29 Serie A games, and four in six Champions League matches, but the Bianconeri have struggled this campaign.
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport have reported that Cristiano Ronaldo has changed recently and is behaving quite differently to how he was when he first arrived in Turin.
They say that he isn't trying to lift his teammates on the pitch like he used to, and he doesn't seem to be enjoying his football at all.
"He's nervous, irritable and very distant from his teammates," La Gazzetta dello Sport claim.
"He seems to have given up and he's not got as much fight as he usually does.
"He seemed very different against Fiorentina, which is a worrying sign.
"Ronaldo is no longer trying to hide these feelings."
This perception of how Cristiano Ronaldo is feeling at the club has added to the rumours that he may be on his way out.
"He's isolated away from the pitch," the paper added.
"It seems that he's getting closer and closer to leaving Juventus.
"It's always been a little but like that, but it's gotten worse recently after their elimination in the Champions League."
A poor season
Cristiano Ronaldo's mood also isn't helping him perform on the pitch, and he's now gone three games without scoring.
This is his longest dry spell since picking up an injury in his first season in Italy, with his last goal coming against Napoli on April 7.
Juventus, who have won the last nine Serie A titles, find themselves in fourth place and are battling to secure Champions League football for next season.

Ronaldo has Madrid style of DNA 🧬. he is a player who believes in counter attack. but look at Juventus they always starting from the back even they have chance to attack. and that time you can clearly see the frustration in Ronaldo face. I believe he's same as before but if everyone blame only Ronaldo for failure in both serie A and champions league, that is ridiculous and that's happening to him. in any game I didn't see Juventus were playing to achieve something. this year watching them was so boring their is acting like this is a joke..

This Juventus midfeld are not holding the ball well , not creating chances for goal, not going forward. Everytime they had the ball , instead of going forward they pass the ball to the defenders. Bullshit juve midfield .

Pple used to say CR7 just needs a ball at his feet & will play at any team and score while Messi needs Xavi,Iniesta,etc to perform....Look now what's happening, without Kroos & modric, Marcelo who are one of the best CR7 can't score goals like he used to[Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh] and juve fans say they don't have quality midfielders who match CR7 standards...that's to say CR7 need Midfielders more than Messi; CR7 is more of a finisher while Messi is a playmaker who can both score & asist
