Douglas Costa has caused quite a stir by claiming that Cristiano Ronaldo is not the best Juventus player.
Ronaldo has enjoyed another stellar campaign at Juve and is the club’s top scorer with 21 goals in Serie A.
Those feats helped the Italians lead Lazio by one point in the league before the coronavirus pandemic temporarily halted proceedings.
However, it seems that winger Costa, who was forced to play Ronaldo’s second violin under boss Maurizio Sarri, does not qualify the Portuguese as the club’s most precious asset.
Instead, that title belongs to Paulo Dybala, who has scored just seven Serie A goals this season.

When asked about the club’s best player in a Instagram Q&A said: “The strongest partner is Paulino, Dybala. Then, of course, Ronaldo too.”
Meanwhile, it was recently learned that Juventus could be forced to sell Ronaldo due to the devastating implications the coronavirus may have on the club’s finances.
There is great concern that the pandemic will cause great financial pressure on Italian champions, according to Il Messagero, who claims that they may not be able to pay the superstar’s salary.

Ronaldo already took a hit of £ 3.4 million on his £ 28 million salary a year this week.
A study recently published by the CIES Football Observatory has said that due to the virus, transfer fees will be cut by 28 percent, meaning Juve will only get back around £ 60 million from the £ 100 million they paid to Real Madrid in 2018.
Experts have predicted that the football landscape is set for a big change due to the outbreak, so it remains to be seen if much business will be done in the summer transfer window.
