Cristiano Ronaldo has opened the door to a lucrative summer transfer by commenting “it has been great being at Real Madrid” moments after helping the team to victory in the Champions League final over Liverpool.
Real won their third consecutive Champions League as they beat Liverpool 3-1 in Kiev. Karim Benzema opened the scoring with Sadio Mane then equalising, before a Gareth Bale double won the game for the Spanish giants.
But immediately after the match Ronaldo, 33, cast doubt on his future at Real Madrid by refusing to commit his future to the club.
When asked about his future, Ronaldo said: “The main thing was to win, to go down in history”.
He was then pressed on the question by a Spanish journalist, adding: “Now it's time to enjoy this. In the next few days I'll give the fans, who have been by my side, an answer. It's been great being at Real Madrid.
“I'll speak in the next few days. Now it's time to enjoy the moment. The future of any player isn't important. We've made history.”
