Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has put to rest rumours that he is returning to Real Madrid, insisting that his story at the Spanish club “has been written”.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the 36-year-old known as CR7 for his shirt number said that the frivolous way in which his future is being discussed is disrespectful to the clubs involved, players and staff.

Ronaldo, the top scorer in Serie A last season, has 10 months remaining on his contract at the Turin club.

Ronaldo added: “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... I know that the true Real Madrid fans will continue to have me in their hearts.

“I’m breaking my silence now to say that I can’t allow people to keep playing around with my name.”

Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti also denied reports that the club was interested in bringing the Portugal captain back.

“Cristiano Ronaldo is a Real Madrid legend and he has all my affection and respect. I have never considered signing him. We are looking toward the future,” the Italian wrote on Twitter.

Ronaldo is under contract with Juventus through next June, but Spanish media has speculated about a return to Madrid, where he thrived from 2009-18.

“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,” Ronaldo said in his lengthy post.
