"If I get an offer to leave I will let people know but now isn't the right time as we have to work hard and keep battling away. I've got five months to help this club win something.
"I'm not leaving Real Madrid without winning another trophy. If I can I will stay on next season and continue trying to make history with Real Madrid."
Roberto Carlos is one of the longest serving members of the squad but the Spanish media has reported that he may leave at the end of the season, a year before his contract expires.
The Brazil international said he was annoyed with speculation on his future and with reports about a rift between him and Spanish players at the club.
"I'm pretty upset about it all as some journalists have gone too far and what they say has an impact on the fans. But I can deal with it," he said.
Roberto Carlos has won three league titles and three European Cups since joining from Inter Milan in 1996. He has been a fixture at left back for the last 10 seasons.
