Portugal and Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has broken his silence on his future. The captain of the Portugal team issued a rare statement to address some rumours which he termed disrespectful.
The statement comes at a time when the five-time World Player of the Year has been linked with a move to French giants Paris Saint Germain. PSG recently signed Ronaldo’s fierce nemesis and six-time world player of the year, Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo has also been linked with his former club, Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid. In addition, he has also been linked with English Champions Manchester City. The 36-year-old’s €30m-a-year contract runs out next summer and Juventus risk losing him for nothing in 2022 unless they sell the forward this summer or offer him a new deal.
In his statement, Ronaldo denied the reports and said that he cannot allow people to keep playing around with his name. He insisted that he is only focused on his work and his career.

Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks Silence On His Future, Addresses “Disrespectful 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.
“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. And beyond what I achieved, I remember that in those nine years I had a relationship of deep affection and respect for “merengue afición”, 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.”
“As well as this most recent episode in Spain, there have been frequent news and stories associating me with a number of clubs in many different Leagues, with nobody ever being concerned about trying to find out the actual truth.
“I’m breaking my silence now to say that I can’t allow people to keep playing around with my name. I remain focused on my career and in my work, committed and prepared for all the challenges that I have to face. Everything else? Everything else is just talking.”
