The Blancos supremo does not believe that there
is any chance of the Portugal international leaving
Los Blancos, while he is also enthused by the
arrival of Gareth Bale
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez says that
Cristiano Ronaldo will finish his career at the
Santiago Bernabeu.
The Portugal international has been repeatedly
linked with a return to Manchester United but in
September the 28-year-old committed himself to
Los Blancos until 2018.
Perez is in no doubt that Ronaldo will not only
honour his current contract with the club but
continue playing in the Spanish capital until he
decides to hang up his boots.
“We are immensely proud that Cristiano Ronaldo is
with us - he will spend the rest of his career at
Real Madrid," the Blancos supremo told reporters
on Saturday.
“He is the greatest player on the planet and one of
the greatest of all time."
Perez is also enthused that Ronaldo has now been
joined at Madrid by Gareth Bale, whom Madrid
acquired from Tottenham for a world-record €100
million this summer, as he believes the club are
now in a position to dominate European football for
years to come.
"We have strengthened with the acquisition of Bale,
who has twice been named player of the year in
the Premier League," he stated.
“Thus, we are continuing the model set out by
[former Madrid president Santiago] Bernabeu,
according to which there is a blend of the best
players in the world, the best Spanish players and
a strong commitment to the youth system.
“They are all managed by [coach Carlo] Ancelotti,
who is a recognised winner. He comes with the
necessary experience to lead this impressive team
and he is able to call on the invaluable assistance
of Zinedine Zidane."
Madrid are currently third in La Liga, six points
behind leaders Barcelona, but they sealed their
place in the last 16 of the Champions League with
a 4-1 win over Galatasaray in midweek.
