Madrid in future and criticised a journalist for a lack of
"intelligence".
Cristiano Ronaldo is determined to win silverware with Real
Madrid this season but says he cannot guarantee his long-term
future at the club.
The Portugal star drew level with Raul's long-standing club
record of 323 goals with his double against Malmo on
Wednesday - his 500th and 501st strikes in his professional
career.
Ronaldo was linked with a potential departure from the Santiago
Bernabeu during the transfer window, with speculation of world-
record bids from former club Manchester United and French
champions Paris Saint-Germain rife.
And though the 30-year-old says he is eager to add to his
trophy collection in the Spanish capital, he refused to rule out a
departure.
"My future is at Madrid. I'm fine here. I want to win things here
and I feel good," Ronaldo said after the 2-0 win in Sweden.
"But as I've said millions of times before, nobody knows the
future. We'll see what happens.
"I have a good relationship with everyone, the president, the
coaches, the kit managers... my relationships are good because
I'm a professional.
"Nobody knows what will happen next year. I want to win things
in Madrid because I think this club has the potential to win
things, but in the future I don't know."
Ronaldo opted to break his long silence with the media on
Wednesday but became irritated as one reporter persisted in
asking for his views on Gerard Pique's inflammatory comments
earlier this year.
Pique had publicly thanked singer Kevin Roldan as Barcelona
celebrated the treble following the supporter outcry when
pictures of Ronaldo's birthday celebrations emerged the day
after a 4-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in February.
"It's my decision. I speak when I want and the club doesn't
pressure me. When you don't speak it's because something isn't
right," Ronaldo said of his media blackout.
"Do you know why I don't talk? Are you clever? To do this work
you have to be clever.
"I don't speak more often because the questions aren't good.
He's talking to me about things that happened five months ago.
"Today you don't ask me for the good things about the team.
Why do I want to get involved in what Pique said? Why does it
matter?"
