The Portuguese superstar has been linked with a move away from Juventus as he is yet to renew his contract with the Turin club with just one year left on his current deal. A return to Real Madrid has been reported which also prompted current Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti to deny the speculations of Ronaldo’s potential comeback to the club.
Meanwhile, amid the speculations of his future, Cristiano Ronaldo also broke his silence via an Instagram post and slammed media for disrespectful reports. The 36-year-old denied any rumours of Real Madrid return and said that he is focused on Juventus.

‘'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'’ the five-time Ballon d’Or winner said.
Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus in 2018 for a club-record transfer fee and since then has been the top scorer for the club scoring 101 goals in 133 appearances. In that time period, the Bianconeri have won several domestic honours but are yet to replicate that success on the European front.
