L. Modrić: I hope Ronaldo stays at "Real"

Luka Modric believes that his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Madrid's "Real" despite rumors linking him with Turin's "Juventus". Recently, various foreign media outlets reported that the Portuguese has already agreed on a four-year contract with the Italian champions, earning up to 30 million euros per season. As reported, the "bianconeri" are currently negotiating the transfer fee for the striker, which is expected to be around 100 million euros. However, Modric does not believe in the success of these negotiations. "I don't think he will leave, and I would like him to stay because he is the best player in the world," said the leader of the Croatian national team. "I think he will stay - that's my opinion. It would be great if it happened because I can't imagine him in any other club." "We'll see what happens." 33-year-old Ronaldo scored 44 goals and made eight assists in 44 games across all competitions last season.
