Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed he "wants to play for Real Madrid", according to a respected Brazilian website.
Terra claim to have carried out an exclusive interview with the Portugal international in which he said: "I would like to play for Real Madrid but only if it is true they are ready to pay what Manchester United ask of them.
"However, it does not depend on me."
The interview continued with Ronaldo stating his hope that the announcement would bring closure to the speculation linking him with a possible move to the Bernabeu.
He added to Terra: "From today I'm not going to talk about this topic with anyone at all.
"I'll only talk about this again after the European Championship. Don't ask me any questions because I won't answer."
