Manchester United hero Cristiano Ronaldo believes a decision on his future at Old Trafford will be made before the start of Euro 2008.
Ronaldo is still being non-committal about whether he will remain with the Red Devils, despite Wednesday's Champions League final success.
Speculation linking the Portugal winger with a £100million move to Real Madrid this summer has grown in the past week.
Ronaldo, who scored his 42nd goal of an outstanding season in United's dramatic win over Chelsea in Moscow, claims he is happy in Manchester but he may not have ruled a move out.
The 23-year-old said: "I don't promise nothing, I don't promise nothing to my mum, I don't promise nothing to the supporters.
"I want to stay, but the future... no-one knows. I want to stay. We are going to see in the next two weeks, I don't say I make a decision."
Ronaldo is just one year into a five-year contract at United.
Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon believes his side's hopes of wresting Ronaldo away from United rest on what the player himself wants.
United have steadfastly insisted Ronaldo is going nowhere, but Calderon feels that the final decision will ultimately come down to the player.
"The players play where they want. If a player decides to leave he is unstoppable, slavery was abolished a long time ago, nobody can prevent a player from moving," Calderon was quoted as telling Punto Radio.
"If the player is firm in his decision, there is no one who can hold him back."
He added: "I have always said that if Manchester want to sell him, we will ask about him, and if he wants to come and we can pay what they ask."
United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz, however, claims Ronaldo has no intention of leaving.
"Without doubt, he is going to continue in Manchester. He is very happy with us, he has a contract and there is no fear that he will leave," Queiroz, the former Real Madrid coach, said on Canal Plus.
