Las Vegas-based Ronaldo lawyer Peter S. Christiansen acknowledged this month that Ronaldo and Mayorga had signed a confidentiality agreement in 2010, one year after filing the complaint.

On Monday, Ronaldo answered questions about the case.

"I am a happy man," said Ronaldo.

"If I'm not mistaken, we made the statement two weeks ago, I'm happy, of course, I'm not going to lie in this situation, I'm very happy.

"I think it's not the most important thing," he said.

"I'm not obsessed with individual prizes, I have to focus.

"The last two months with Juve have been spectacular, I really like to play here, everything is fine, the team is fantastic.

"Prices do not mean everything to me, they help and they are good, but they are not an obsession, I earn a lot of trophies, so there is no problem."
