Earlier today, Real Madrid confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will be transferred to Juventus. According to reports, the cost of the transfer will be 100 million Euros, with Ronaldo then signing a contract with Juventus that will be worth a reported 30 million Euros per year.

This news obviously has a dramatic impact on Champions League next year - after all, Ronaldo led Real Madrid to four Champions League titles, including three straight titles from 2015-16 to 2017-18. Ronaldo is still playing football at extremely high levels, so his transfer will boost Juventus' odds to win Champions League next year.

In the wake of the Ronaldo news, Juventus' odds to win Champions League next season have spiked to 7/1. This means that only two clubs - Man City and Barcelona - have better odds to win the title next season.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, has seen their odds to win the title weaken, with some sports books listing their odds as high as 8/1.
