Cristiano Ronaldo was quizzed about a transfer to Barcelona. But the Juventus forward was quite jovial and explained why a move won't happen.


Ronaldo spent nine years at Real Madrid before switching to Juventus in a deal worth £99.2million last summer.

The Portuguese superstar settled in quickly with the Turin giants and has already won the Serie A title in his debut campaign.

But one place that is furthest from his thoughts is the Nou Camp after his strong ties with Los Blancos.

In a wide ranging interview with Spanish magazine ICON, Ronaldo joked that he couldn’t envisage turning out for the Nou Camp giants one day.

He said: “Barcelona is not for me, no. I went there once or twice and I felt that they don’t like Cristiano there very much.

“But that’s normal because of the [Real Madrid-Barcelona] rivalry. But I don’t mind.”

Ronaldo, meanwhile, has also hinted that he could go down the coaching route once he hangs up his boots.

He added: “I'm not ruling it out. You must be humble, learn that you don't know everything.

“If you're smart, you get little things that make you better as an athlete.”
