Real Madrid Boss Speaks On ‘C. Ronaldo’ Return

Zinedine Zidane was asked about the possible return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid amid recent rumours.

“Well, you know what Cristiano [Ronaldo] means to Madrid, what he has done, the affection we all have for him and what he has done here is magnificent,” he said.

“But now he is a Juventus player and he is doing very well there. I can’t tell you anything, many things are said but you have to respect these things.”

Whilst there has yet to be concrete progress made with regards to Sergio Ramos’ contract extension with Los Blancos, Zidane believes that the central defender could well play at the top-level way into his forties.

“That is already a good intention, and he has said it,” he added.

“Every year he will see how he is feeling and he stays like he is now, then he can play until he is 40.

“The most important thing is how he feels.”
