The prolific striker's future at the club was thrown into doubt last week when Portuguese newspaper "A Bola" reported that Ronaldo wanted to leave Spain after being accused of committing tax fraud.

"During the election period, I've tried to be respectful and keep out of everything".

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez says he has not spoken to Cristiano Ronaldo about his future, but will do so after the Confederations Cup. Real Madrid has always had the best players in the world.

"We are used to a lot of speculation about possible comings and goings during the transfer period", said Rummenigge in a club statement with the headline "Hoax of the Day for the Ronaldo rumors".

I know him and he's a top professional and person and all this is very odd.

He added: "I am sure he will be one of the greats and we are following him".

Facebook/CristianoRonaldo has expressed his desire to transfer back to Manchester United.

Ronaldo's future at Real Madrid looked guaranteed after lifting his third Champions League title with the club earlier this month, the Portugal global scoring twice in a 4-1 win over Juventus. His agent, Jorge Mendes (who also represents Mourinho), claimed in 2015 that his release clause is over $1 billion.

Ronaldo is also reportedly considering a return to United after informing the Spanish champions he wants to leave the country after being accused of avoiding tax.

Ronaldo has yet to comment publicly on the matter, but despite the constant noise surrounding their star player, the Portuguese camp insisted on Tuesday that it is business as usual for Ronaldo and the team ahead of the Russian Federation clash.

The 54-year-old Mourinho, who coached Madrid from 2010-13, now coaches Manchester United.

Manchester United are now in the process of securing various targets including Ivan Perisic, Alvaro Morata and Eric Dier, and that should remain the priority.

Real Madrid created 183 chances in the Champions League last season.

Mourinho gave the Spain global his Real debut back in 2010 and now wants Morata to lead the line for next season.
