Bruno Fernandes has given a fascinating insight into his conversations with Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Juventus forward has been strongly linked with a move in recent weeks. In fact, the 36-year-old posted a cryptic statement on social media on Tuesday, where he reflected on another season at the Serie A side.
Ronaldo, who currently has another year on his contract in Turin, will reportedly speak to the Turin-based side about his future this summer after the club secured Champions League football on the final day.

He has, however, also been linked with a move to a number of clubs, including former side Manchester United. But would he actually consider a return to Old Trafford in the future?
Bruno Fernandes, who joined the Premier League side from Sporting CP last year, has spoken about previous conversations he has had with Ronaldo, and how the forward regularly asks about his former club.
In an interview with Manchester United's official website, Fernandes said: "I spoke with him [Ronaldo] after, not before. I said before - Manchester, for me, was the dream team.

"I always wanted to play for this team and it doesn't matter who can talk about it - bad or good, I will come.
"It was my dream to play in the Premier League. I have the choice to come to Manchester United and it was two dreams in one. It was perfect.
"Of course, I spoke with Cristiano after and he spoke very well about the club. I spoke with him some days ago, again.
"Every time I speak with him, he asks me how Manchester is and if everything is okay. Everyone knows he spent a lot of time in Manchester and he has consideration for the club.

"He likes the club, I think he won his first Ballon d'Or here, so it's a club who've marked him, for sure."
