Zinedine Zidane has indicated that Real Madrid will try and re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus this summer.
Ronaldo’s future has been the subject of much debate since Juve’s shock round of 16 Champions League exits at the hands of Porto last week.

We know Cristiano, we know what he has done for Real Madrid, but now he is a Juve. There’s the player, he’s playing with each other. Team. We’ll see what his future will be. “
Why would Madrid want Ronaldo back?
Ronaldo permanently registered his name in Madrid history during a nine-year spell at Barnabyu, helping the club win 15 major trophies, including two La Liga crowns and four Champions League titles.
He also became his all-time record scorer, dishing out 450 goals in 438 appearances in all competitions, but the team has struggled to achieve the same level of success since his departure.
Madrid’s La Liga victory is the only trophy they have won in the last three years, with Karim Benzema now weighing in on the final third of the pitch.

How has Ronaldo performed the term for Juve?
Ronaldo has shown no signs of slowing down even as he progressed into his mid-thirties, with his production in front of goal still as high as ever led by Italian head coach Andrea Pirlo at Juve.
Despite the fact that the Bianconeri are out of Europe and struggling to stay under Inter’s touch in the Serie A title race, Ronaldo has scored 30 goals in 33 matches, including a surprise hat-trick against Cagliari over the weekend.
