Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted of his intention to leave Real Madrid next season.
The multiple ballon d’Or winner took the occasion of Madrid’s Champions League triumph to drop the hint.
“It has been very nice playing for Real Madrid,” he said immediately after him and his Madrid team-mates won their third consecutive Champions League title and 13th overall on Saturday night after beating Liverpool 3-1 in Kiev.
But after he was asked to clarify himself by newsmen, he said, ‘In the next few days I will give an answer. Now we have to enjoy the moment. The future of any player is not important. We have made history.’
Ronaldo’s words were then put to Zinedine Zidane and Sergio Ramos but they both downplayed it.
The Portuguese international has a new contract pending so post-final talks were always going to take place.
