Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has denied claims that he has created a rift between himself and the club in order to force a transfer.

The 30-year-old is said to be upset at the sacking of manager Carlo Ancelotti, and reports have suggested that he has fallen out with president Florentino Perez and wants to leave this summer.

However, he is quoted as saying by A Bola: "Reports that I have sought to create conflicts between myself and Real Madrid are absolutely false. I am very happy at the best club in the world and very focused and confident of a new season full of successes."

Ronaldo scored 61 goals in the 2014-15 campaign.
