Zidane: You know the affection Real Madrid have for Cristiano Ronaldo

The Portugal forward has been linked with a sensational return to Los Blancos

One of the big news stories on Friday was the supposed talks between Cristiano Ronaldo's people (Jorge Mendes) and Real Madrid over a possible return.

Ronaldo's ready to leave Juventus after three years in Italy following more Champions League disappointment against Porto in midweek.

Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has now been asked about the possibility of bringing Ronaldo, now 33, back to the Santiago Bernabeu next season.

"You all know what Ronaldo's done for the club and the affection we have for him," the Frenchman said. "He made history here and is magnificent, but now he's a Juve player and he's doing phenomenal there.

"A lot of things get said but the only thing I can say is that he is a Juventus player."

With Madrid's lack of goals this season, even an ageing Ronaldo would aid Zidane on the pitch with Los Blancos dependent on Karim Benzema and keen to add a No.9.
