Jorge Mendes opens up on his split with Cristiano Ronaldo after the Al-Naasr forward axed him for not being able to secure a big move to a Champions League club following his bitter Man United exit

Jorge Mendes has opened up on his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, claiming they are still 'close' despite cutting ties in a professional capacity last year.

Ronaldo reportedly split from his long-serving agent after a disagreement over his bombshell Piers Morgan interview - which led to his bitter Manchester United exit.

Additionally, Ronaldo is said to have fallen out with Mendes after demanding the super agent secure him a deal with Bayern Munich or Chelsea last summer.

Once Mendes failed to deliver a deal with either club, Ronaldo - who ended up signing for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr - terminated their partnership.
