Ronaldo to Real Madrid rumours rubbished by Ancelotti

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has rubbished reports suggesting that he is plotting a move to return Cristiano Ronaldo to Santiago Bernabeu.

A five-time Ballon d'Or winner called time on a previous stint in the Spanish capital back in 2018 when completing a switch to Serie A giants Juventus.

He has now entered the final year of his contract in Turin and has been linked with various clubs around the world, including Real.

What has been said?

Blancos boss Ancelotti is aware of the rumours suggesting that he is plotting a sensational swoop for a Portuguese superstar, but the Italian insists there is no substance to them.

He has posted on Twitter: "Cristiano is a Real Madrid legend and he has all my love and respect. 

"I have never considered signing him. We look forward. #Go Madrid"
