Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is confident Los Blancos will be able to renew the contract of their prolific forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
Amidst reports of internal unrest in the club’s administrative hierarchy – all of it apparently centered on manager Jose Mourinho – speculation is rife about Ronaldo’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu, with talk of him going to either Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain or to his former club Manchester United rampant. Sir Alex Ferguson, for his part, has already addressed the potential return of the Portuguese international to Old Trafford.
But now Perez has come out to quash those specultation, explaining that the nine-time Champions League winners can keep hold of their prize asset beyond this summer.
“Keep calm, he will continue [at the club]”, Perez was quoted as saying by Le 10 Sport.
