Hours after Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said that he was not going to take Cristiano Ronaldo back in the club, the Portuguese football great slammed reports that he was trying to return to Real Madrid.

Claiming that such talk was disrespectful to both him and to all the clubs involved in these rumours, as well as to their players and staff, Ronaldo wrote a detailed statement addressing the transfer rumours. "Anyone who knows me is aware of how focused I am on my work. Less talk and more action, this has been my guiding motto since the start of my career. However, in view of everything that's been said and written recently, I have to set out my position," he mentioned.

"More than the disrespect for me as a man and as a player, the frivolous way that my future is covered in the media is disrespectful to all the clubs involved in these rumours, as well as to their players and staff. My story at Real Madrid has been written. It's been recorded. In words and numbers, in trophies and titles, in records and in headlines. It's in the Museum at the Bernabeu Stadium and it's also in the minds of every fan of the club."

"I remember that in those nine years I had a relationship of deep affection and respect for 'merengue aficion,' an affection and respect that I retain to this day, and that I will always cherish. I know that the true Real Madrid fans will continue to have me in their hearts, and I will have them in mine," Ronaldo added.

The Juventus star concluded that he cannot allow people to keep playing around with his name and that he remained focused on his career and in his work, committed and prepared for all the challenges that he has to face moving forward.
