Ronaldo has also responded to the banner made by Atletico Madrid fans which read: 'CR7 Not Welcome' on social media.
Atletico are one of the sides who have been linked with making a move for Ronaldo, but fans of the club are strongly opposed to the former Real Madrid man coming to the Wanda Metropolitano.
During their pre-season friendly against Numancia on Wednesday, fans of the club held up a banner which let Ronaldo know that he wouldn't be welcome at the club.
But the forward seemed to find the funny side of it and commented with three laughing emojis underneath an Instagram post.

One fan group of Atletico - Union ATM - also released a statement urging the club not to sign the forward.
It said: "Given the possibility that the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo is more than just a rumour we express our absolute rejection of any hypothetical incorporation into our club.
"The aforementioned player represents the antithesis of the values that are the hallmarks of our Atleti, such as effort, generosity, simplicity and humility.
"Even in the unlikely event that a player in steep decline such as Cristiano Ronaldo could secure a title; we would not accept his signing.
"The sense of belonging to our Atletico is not something that is within his reach, to his misfortune, so he could never achieve our affection or recognition.
"Therefore, we ask the club to reject his possible signing, if he has ever been considered."
