Ronaldo snubs City, does not rule out future at Barca

Cristiano Ronaldo says he will not leave Real Madrid amid rumors of Manchester City trying to lure the Portugal forward back to England with a huge contract.

Ronaldo told Spanish radio Cadena Cope on Tuesday that "I am not going. I give you my word. Today I would sign for 10 more years with Real Madrid."

He didn't, however, rule out a future move from the Spanish giants: "Could I think differently tomorrow? Yes. No one knows the future of a player."

The 26-year old forward even left open the possibility of joining Madrid's rival Barcelona.

He said "play for Barca? Never is a strong word."

Last season, Ronaldo set a Spanish league record with 40 goals as Madrid finished second to Barcelona for the third straight year.
