"I have to think hard about what I'm doing [in terms of my future],"
"In Madrid, I have everything such as my house and people who love me. We will have to see what happens, but at the moment I have a contract with Bayern Munich.
"I just want to finish the season and we'll see what happens. I keep in touch with some Madrid players."

Lionel Messi unhappy with Barcelona's efforts to sign Brazilian duo
The potential arrivals of Brazilian youngsters Vitao and Candido have been met with displeasure by Lionel Messi, as per reports.
Vitao is the captain of the u-20 national team while Candido is a promising left-back. However, Lionel Messi is not happy with either of the players as the deals will cost Barcelona a sum of €20 million.
The two Brazilians have hardly played at the elite level and could possibly end up in Barca B or get loaned out.
Cristiano Ronaldo wants Luka Modric and Raphael Varane at Juventus
The former Real Madrid man wants to reunite with 2 of his ex-teammates at Juventus, according to reports from Spain. Ronaldo has urged the Juventus board to sign Raphael Varane and Luka Modric and the Old Lady's top brass are already working towards securing their services.
Luka Modric had been linked with a move to Italy with Inter Milan in the summer and the report suggests that the Croatian international does not want to retire at the Bernabeu. Raphael Varane has fallen out of love with the Santiago Bernabeu by virtue of a few underwhelming performances this season.
The report suggests that Marcelo has an agreement with Juventus but is waiting for Florentino Perez to give him the nod in the summer so that he can reunite with Ronaldo.
