The Portuguese ace will begin working on his fitness in the next few days after being granted a month to rest.

After more than a month of speculation, Cristiano Ronaldo has changed his mind about leaving Real Madrid. The Portuguese striker shocked Los Blancos' fans weeks after winning their 12th UEFA Champions League title by allegedly revealing he didn't want to return to the Spanish capital due to his problems with that country's tax authorities. Now, after some days and with a better perspective on things, the footballer stated in a brief interview with Marca that he's ready to battle for more titles with Los Merengues.

"Winning important trophies with my team last year was great, as well as all individual trophies. It will be nice to do it again," CR7 told the Spanish newspaper. "You have to work hard, day in and day out, year after year. I will keep doing so. Football is my passion and my life," the player added.

The player spent the last few days in China, promoting products from one of his major sponsors.

With his announcement, it's safe to say that Los Blancos will have one of the best attacks in European football, as the same journal reported today that Kylian Mbappé will join the Spanish giants this summer.
