Real Madrid defender Pepe has hinted that Portuguese compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo has his heart set on a move to the Bernabeu.

Ronaldo has been persistently linked with a record-breaking transfer away from Old Trafford amid Real's public pursuit of the 23-year-old winger.

United are, however, adamant Ronaldo will remain at the club, with manager Sir Alex Ferguson recently holding talks with the forward.

Pepe, though, who joined Real from Porto last summer, believes it is 'normal' that Ronaldo is reportedly keen to join the Primera Division champions.

"It's normal he wants to come. If he comes to Madrid he'll be welcomed by everyone," Pepe said in The Sun.

"The directors, players and fans welcome you here - Cristiano won't have a problem.

"He has said many times that he likes Madrid. He knows the great history of Madrid and the club that it is."
