Cristiano Ronaldo has made it clear he wants to leave Real
Madrid this summer.
The 32-year-old says he does not want to play in Spain any
more.
Reports in his native Portugal, also claimed the decision is
“irreversible.”
Ronaldo is reportedly angry at his treatment by Spanish tax
authorities and wishes to leave the country, according to the front page of
Portuguese daily, A Bola, on Friday.
His decision is not unconnected to the allegations that he
defrauded Spain’s tax office of €14.7 million in unpaid taxes.
A Spanish state prosecutor accused Ronaldo of “taking
advantage of a business structure created in 2010 to hide from fiscal
authorities income generated in Spain from image rights.”
The former Manchester United forward, won his third
Champions League as a Madrid player and fourth of his career, but is so
“indignant” at what he feels amounts to persecution.
He is believed to have communicated that decision to the
Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez.
