• But club president refuses to comment on Mourinho's future
The Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez, has told supporters that Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at the club, though he refused to make a similar guarantee about the future of the manager, José Mourinho.
Pérez told a meeting of fans who were worried about Ronaldo's future: "Relax, we will renew his contract and it will be the club who pays."
However, when the supporters made a plea to keep Mourinho at the Bernabéu, the president just smiled and did not answer, according to the Madrid newspaper AS.
Pérez gave a speech in which he said: "Real Madrid confronts a spectacular month of May, with the Champions League and Copa del Rey final. Being president at Real Madrid is difficult – as is being the coach at this club but we have to learn to live with it. We can argue among ourselves but we must remain united."
Asked about the possibility that their former striker Raúl may return to the club in some capacity, Pérez said: "Raúl hasn't left; he is simply spending a short while away in Germany and Qatar. This is his home and he will return."
