Cristiano Ronaldo will Die at Real Madrid, says club president

 Cristiano Ronaldo will spend the rest of his career at Real Madrid, according to club president Florentino Perez.

The Portuguese forward, 28, has recently been linked with a return to Manchester United  or a move to big-spending French club Monaco.

But Perez said: "You can be absolutely certain that Cristiano will retire at Real Madrid."

He added Real have not made a bid for Spurs' Gareth Bale, or received an offer from Arsenal for Gonzalo Higuain.  He said: "Ronaldo wants to retire at Real Madrid, and we want him to retire here, just like [Zinedine] Zidane and so many other great players did."

Wales international Bale, meanwhile, was reported to be the subject of a planned £85m offer from Real  after scoring 26 goals for Spurs last season.

Perez said of the 23-year-old: "He is a great player who belongs to a club we enjoy good relations with, but we have not made any offer." BBC Sports
