Real Madrid Yet he thinks Real can cope without him

Cristiano Ronaldo's exit would shock the transfer market

Florentino Perez: Cristiano Ronaldo is a Real Madrid player and will continue to be

Cristiano Ronaldo's future remains a mystery, but Luis Figo is confident that his countryman will still be playing for Real Madrid in 2017/18.

Pointing out just how many stars would have to align for the player to be able to depart the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu this summer, the 44-year-old considers an exit unlikely.

"A lot of things would have to happen for him to leave," Figo told Gol's 'Directo Gol Tarde' programme.

"It is a personal decision and if a person really wants something to happen then it will end up happening, but I see it as unlikely."

Even if the forward does leave, Figo is confident that Los Blancos could cope without him.

"I hold the opinion that nobody is indispensable, not just Cristiano Ronaldo," he said.

"Clubs can't depend on anybody.

"The history of these clubs is above everyone, even the president or whoever."

Currently, Ronaldo is in Russia representing Portugal, after which talks are scheduled between him and his current club.
