Cristiano Ronaldo: Real Madrid star linked with move away

Carlo Ancelotti has tipped Cristiano Ronaldo to finish his career at Real Madrid after becoming the club’s record goalscorer.

Ronaldo has regularly been linked with Paris Saint-Germain and former club Manchester United over the past 12 months, but Ancelotti cannot see the 30-year-old leaving the Bernabeu.

“He etched his name into the record books at Real Madrid the other day when he equaled Raul’s goalscoring record,” Ancelotti told Le Parisien.

“I cannot imagine him leaving Real Madrid.

“I think he will stay at Madrid until the end of his career. Everybody at the club loves him.”

Ancelotti also gave his verdict on another of his former players at Real, Angel Di Maria, following his move to PSG.

“Di Maria will help PSG progress, because he is a team player more than anything else,” Ancelotti said. “He is not a selfish player at all.

“I played him in midfield at Madrid because we needed to find a solution after Sami Khedira got injured. He did very well in midfield.

“But I do not think that is his best position. He is even better in attack. He could play on either wing and even as a centre forward.”
