Jorge Mendes insists he is still "close" with former client Cristiano Ronaldo following their split earlier this year.
Ronaldo, 38, had been represented by Mendes for the majority of his illustrious career, but it was reported that the duo fell out last summer after the striker demanded his agent secure a blockbuster switch to Bayern Munich or Chelsea after becoming disillusioned with life at Manchester United.
Although that failed to materialise, Ronaldo did eventually get his wish and left United by mutual consent in November. But by that point, though, the veteran's relationship with Mendes was in tatters following the bombshell interview he conducted with Piers Morgan shortly before leaving Old Trafford - a decision that was not supported by Mendes.
