Cristiano Ronaldo has reiterated his desire to play in Spain one day.

The Manchester United star is rumoured to be closing in on a new five-year deal at Old Trafford, but he admits he does want to try his hand in La LIga.

Ronaldo is having a wonderful season in England, grabbing 27 goals so far this term already, and he is now rated amongst the world's best.

Real Madrid have always harboured hopes of landing the Portuguese ace - who was speaking before his country's friendly clash with Italy on Wednesday.

Spanish yearning

"I feel well in England," he told state broadcaster TVI.

But he added: "I would like to play in Spain one day. I also would like to play in Portugal [again] and Italy, but much more in Spain."

Ronaldo admits that he has developed so much in recent seasons at United.

"Many players are talented, but if that talent is not developed they will never go anywhere," he said.

"I keep improving everything I have. Four years ago I was not the player I am now. I improved and I better understand the team-game concept.

"I think I still can improve. My learning process has not finished yet.

"Last season I scored 23 goals and some people doubted that I could do it again.

"This season I have just scored more, and things are going fast.

"I aim to score more and shine even more, helping the national team and my club - but to score 50 goals is a bit hard."
