After a period of silence Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken in detail about his pending move to Real Madrid – and urged Manchester United fans to bear him no malice.
"As I've already said in every interview, Real Madrid is the club in which I've always wanted to play," said
Ronaldo.
"It will be good to play with Kaka, a player who won the Ballon d'Or, the best in the world, but also with Raul, (Iker) Casillas and Guti.
“I want to take advantage of the chance to ask the fans and the people of
Manchester United to understand my decision. It's going to be a very big challenge for me."
Ronaldo wants to enjoy what’s left of his summer break, as he waits for his move to Madrid to be ratified.
"If I'm allowed, now I want to rest, because the negotiations are still not concluded. I want to start pre-season well, that's what I really want. The truth is that I'm eager to start."
He added: "I still don't have a house in Madrid, but I'll set aside time to look. I also want to learn Spanish, but this is the time to rest, to be with my family, so I can then start strongly and give the best of me.”
