The English champions have been linked with a move for Ronaldo in the past, and the ex-Manchester United icon has not turned down the possibility of leaving Real when his contract terminates in two years’ time.
With cameras allowed into every aspect of his life, the current Ballon D’Or holder feels a few may think there is too much of his life on film – but insists he simply enjoyed making the documentary.

AS’s link with Chelsea is complicated by Ronaldo himself.
He went out of his way to speak to PSG coach Laurent Blanc last week after he felt humiliated by a public dressing-down by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez outside the Bernabeu.

Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo attended the premiere of his new documentary film Ronaldo at London’s Leicester Square this morning (NZ time) with his mini-me and namesake, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.
He regards Real team-mate Martin Odegaard, Chelsea s Eden Hazard, Manchester United s Memphis Depay, Paul Pogba of Juventus and Barcelona s Neymar as the most exciting talents to follow.
Marca quotes Mendes as stating Ronaldo’s love to both United and Real Madrid, though indicating he will end his career at the latter.
