Florentino Perez: 'Cristiano Ronaldo will retire at Real Madrid'

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez firmly believes that Cristiano Ronaldo will end his career at the Santiago Bernabeu amid rumours of a potential summer exit.

The Portuguese international has been frequently linked with a return to former club Manchester United, and recently took to Twitter to deny claims that he had agreed a new deal with the La Liga giants.

However, this raises no concern for Perez, who is confident that Ronaldo will remain at the club for a long time to come.

"Cristiano made these statements because there was some information in the media which did not match reality," Perez told 20minutos.

"Soon we will clarify this issue. I have no doubt that Cristiano is going to retire at Real Madrid. I am convinced that he will renew.

"[Renewing with Ronaldo] is our most important activity, around whom we can build the Madrid of the future."

Ronaldo has also been the subject of interest of AS Monaco.
