NOTHING TO SAY ... Cristiano Ronaldo will not discuss his contract
CRISTIANO RONALDO insists talk of his future is off limits until Real Madrid reverse their fortunes.
Madrid, who currently trail La Liga leaders Barcelona by 16 points, have been rocked by rumours of dressing-room unrest.But Ronaldo, 27, has made it clear he will not even contemplate entertaining questions about extending his current deal beyond 2015.
The former Manchester United star said: “That has already been spoken about. I won’t talk about my contract renewal any more, it’s not important.
“The most important thing is winning our next matches.
“We are contesting La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League and it’s important that we all stick together.
“Right now I’m feeling more comfortable with the fans, not just at the Bernabeu, where I’ve always felt good, but outside too.
“They have shown me a lot of love. I want to pay them back in the best way possible, which is playing well and giving my all for the shirt and helping Madrid get to the top.”
“We want a perfect start to the year. We are at home, we are the favourites and we need to start well.”
Having left United for a staggering £80million in 2009, Ronaldo has been linked with a return to Old Trafford.
And the Portugal international admits he still has fond memories of his time in Manchester.
He added: “I still have great feeling of friendship and love for them, they’re a team that have done a lot for my career.
“The fans know me well and I have a lot of friends there that I keep close to my heart.
“But now I am defending Real Madrid’s colours.”
