Ricardo Carvalho, who joined Ligue 1 outfit AS Monaco from Real Madrid, believes that his former team-mate and compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo is unlikely to join him at the French club.
The 35-year-old central-defender feels that Ronaldo will remain at Real Madrid, the club he joined in 2009 from Manchester United.
Carvalho told Portuguese daily A Bola, "I’m sure Cristiano will extend his stay at Real. All players who decide to leave Real know that they are losers.
“But Cristiano is a winner. He always wants to win and that’s why I have no doubt that he will continue at Real.”
