The Portuguese is confident his now former team-mate
will remain at the Santiago Bernabeu, while revealing his disappointment
at how his time at the club came to an end
Monaco's latest recruit Ricardo Carvalho is confident Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Real Madrid and sign a new contract.The defender joined the free-spending Ligue 1 new-boys at the end of May on the back of three years at the Santiago Bernabeu.
And though his time at the club didn't end on a positive note, with the club dethroned as Liga champions by Barcelona and suffering Copa del Rey final defeat to Atletico Madrid, the Portuguese is confident Madrid will soon be boosted by Cristiano Ronaldo signing a new deal at the club.
He told Marca: "The president is doing everything he can for Cristiano to sign a new contract and he'll stay."
Los Blancos were dogged by publicised spats, notably between coach Jose Mourinho and key players like Iker Casillas and Pepe, for much of last season.
And the veteran stopper believes the underlying disagreements that marred their campaign could have been managed better.
