Ronaldo reveals desired destination:
He would like to play in Brazil when his Real Madrid career finally comes to an end.

According to a report in the Metro he revealed that he would like the opportunity to play in the South American nation. "Corinthians and Flamengo are two famous club, I would gladly dress in one of their shirts. In Brazil I have many friends, so my relationship with the country is very good. At Real I have passed many Brazilians, with Kaka one of the people I respect most of all," he said.

Despite what the Metro claims. Ronaldo simply says that he would want to play in Brazil before he hangs up his bootsStill, it's unclear when Ronaldo will leave the Bernabeu. His contract expires in 2018, and he has stated in the past that he would like to see it out before leaving the Spanish capital.

Athletic hot for Illarra

PUTTING ALMOST €25 MILLION ON THE TABLE

Real Madrid were not planning on making any changes to their squad during this year's winter transfer window but a call from Athletic Bilbao in the last few hours has changed all that. Club president Josu Urrutia has put a more than tempting offer of €20-25 million on the table for Asier Illarramendi, which Madrid is giving very serious consideration. Illarra's exit would thereby expedite Lucas Silva's arrival.
First things first, however, and right now Real Madrid and Athletic are focused on thrashing out the details for the potential transfer of the former Real Sociedad player. Urrutia has already spoken to Florentino Pérez, who two years ago decided on a policy to bring more Spanish players into the squad - a wave which saw the arrival of both Illara and Isco, and he has subsequently always backed the midfielder despite the lack of minutes he has been given by Ancelotti.
This is a deal which looks likely to be given the green light as it appears to be in the interests of all parties. Athletic will strengthen their midfield with a player Valverde is keen on, Real will receive a tidy sum of around €25 million for a player who does not fit into Carlo's plans, and the player will be back out on the pitch.
Carlo has been reluctant to let Illarra go, although he has barely featured in recent matches despite Modric's absence.

What was Cristiano's personal message to Ødegaard?

STARLET'S TEAMMATES SPILL THE BEANS

Martin Ødegaard's teammates at Strømsgodset revealed on Norwegian TV that Cristiano Ronaldo had some very special words for the starlet when he trained with 'Los Blancos' in Madrid.
Ødegaard, whose move to the Bernabéu is nearly done and dusted - official confirmation is all we are waiting for - shared his experiences on his return home and it hasn't taken long for some details to slip out. "He said that he'd had a chat with Cristiano, who told him: 'In a couple of years I'll stop scoring so many goals, so it'll be up to you to score them'".
It is clear that the Strømsgodset squad are proud of the youngster: "It'll be fun telling our grandchildren that we trained with him", Martin Ovenstad and Gustav Wikheim enthused.
The 16-year-old, who is considered the brightest prospect to come out of Norway for many years, spent time training with Carlo Ancelotti's troops the day before the first leg of the Copa del Rey tie against Atlético. He was also given a VIP spot at the Calderón to watch the game.
