The agent of Cristiano Ronaldo can't see him leaving Real Madrid.

Ronaldo is being linked with a return to Manchester United, but Jorge Mendes says his buyout clause makes such a move impossible.

"Cristiano is very happy at Real Madrid and he has always been so. He is going to break all of the club records that he can break at the club and he will retire here. He has the affection of United because his heart was there for six years and he has a lot of respect for the people that show him affection, but he is with his club and the Real Madrid fans until the death. He only thinks about Madrid and he will always remain here. Another thing is that he respects the people that remember him, but he is with Real Madrid until the death.

"I have not received calls from anyone because people know that is impossible to take Cristiano from Madrid, so it is not worth calling to ask for him.

"The price that is stated in his release clause - one billion euros."
