Cristiano Ronaldo's old team president brutally laughed off a plea to re-sign the forward by suggesting he's too old

• Real Madrid's president brutally laughed off a suggestion he should re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo.
• "Sign Cristiano? Again? He's 38 years old!" Florentino Perez said to a fan.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been heavily rumored to be on his way out of Manchester United this summer.

One place the 37-year-old certainly won't be going if he does leave, however, is his former club Real Madrid.

Footage circulated on social media Thursday showing Madrid president Florentino Perez being asked by a supporter about the potential of re-signing Ronaldo, who is Madrid's all-time top scorer, as he left a hotel in Helsinki, Finland.

The 75-year-old responded in brutal fashion, laughing off the suggestion because of Ronaldo's age.

"Sign Cristiano? Again? He's 38 years old!" Perez said.

Real Madrid isn't the only Spanish club Ronaldo definitely won't be moving to this summer.

Last month, Spanish newspaper AS reported that Real's city rival Atletico Madrid wanted to sign the Manchester United forward.

In response, at Atleti's next match, a section of the club's fans unfurled a huge banner that read "CR7 NOT WELCOME."

CR7 is Ronaldo's trademark abbreviation.

Atletico president Enrique Cerezo ruled the club out of signing Ronaldo, telling reporters: "I've already said this several times, I don't know who invented the Cristiano story, but I'll tell you that it's practically impossible that he comes to Atletico de Madrid."

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has insisted that Ronaldo remains part of his plans for the coming season, however, according to Football London, Chelsea is keen to sign the striker before the end of the month.
