Cristiano Ronaldo has been in action for his country over in Russia but returned early following the birth of his twins.
But since touching down in Spain, Ronaldo has kept his silence to the anger of Real Madrid. The 32-year-old has yet to comment on reports that he wants to leave Madrid.
After he was accused of tax fraud, Ronaldo was unhappy with the treatment he received from Real. So much so, the Portuguese forward vowed to move on while seeking a transfer.

Since the massive revelation, he was heavily linked with a move back to Manchester United while Paris Saint-Germain also monitored his situation.
Though news on the Real Madrid exit has quietened. Ronaldo has been in action for Portugal the past few weeks.

Portugal reached the semi-finals before being dumped out of the Confederation Cup by Chile. But Ronaldo starred as he claimed a trio of 'Man of the Match' awards in the group stage phase.
Portugal ultimately secured third spot as they beat Mexico in a play-off. Yet they did so without the influential skipper.
Ronaldo was allowed to leave Russia and head home after the birth of his twins.
And while he's been tight lipped, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has expressed his desire of wanting him to remain at Madrid.

"Everybody knows I want Cristiano to stay here for life. He is one of the pillars of this team and also a big part of the history of this club."
It appeared Perez's words slightly defused the situation but Ronaldo remains silent on the matter.
