Modric - I never heard Ronaldo saying he wants to leave

Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid's future is still in doubt but Luka Modric insist fans should not worry.

Reports suggest Ronaldo want to leave Madrid after being accused of tax fraud relating to image rights but Modric feels the bond between the club and the Portuguese star is too strong to be broken. 

"I've never heard Cristiano say that he wants to go," Modric told Marca. "In football everything is possible, but I think the connection and the relationship between Madrid and Ronaldo is so strong that I think he will continue to be a Real Madrid player."

Also Gareth Bale is another player linked with summer exit to join Manchester United.

The Wales international failed to integrate himself into the Zinedine Zidane's first team squad, but Modric, who played alongside Bale at Spurs, does not believe he needs to change his attitude in order to become a success at the Santiago Bernabeu.

"Gareth has always been like that," he said. 

"At Tottenham as well. It is part of his character. He will do everything for the team and that is the most important thing. He doesn't want to be above the team and is very humble. We're not going to change Gareth, that's the way he is and we have to accept it.

"He has had a very difficult year, with a lot of injuries, but he started the season very well and he was our best player. For him it is important to be healthy and I hope we can see the best Gareth this year."
