Raheem Sterling hinted he hopes to play for Real Madrid in the future but said he is happy at Manchester City at the moment.
Madrid have been linked with Sterling in the past but he is contracted to City until 2023 and would command a hefty transfer fee.
In a new interview with Spanish outlet AS, Sterling was asked if he would one day like to play for Madrid and responded: "How do I answer that one? Is the camera live or is it just taking pictures?
"No one knows what the future will hold. I am a player and I am always open to challenges but right now my challenge is at Manchester City. In the future, hopefully, who knows..."
Questioned about speculation linking him with a move to the Bernabeu, Sterling said: "It’s something that you see all the time, but I’m a City player and I’m enjoying it at the moment, even if things haven’t gone quite planned in the league.
"We now have a massive opportunity in the Champions League but I keep saying Real Madrid is a fantastic club, there’s lovely weather but I keep saying that I am quite happy at City."
He added: "Right now I’m at City and I’m really happy. But I say Real Madrid are a fantastic club, when you see the white shirt you know exactly what the club stands for, it’s massive.
"But at the same time, I have a contract with City now and I have to respect this. But it’s a fantastic club."
Sterling is facing a race to be fit in time for City's upcoming Champions League game against Real Madrid after picking up a hamstring injury against Tottenham at the beginning of February.
