President of the Spanish Football League, Javier Tebas, has
said that La Liga would suffer if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Real Madrid.
Ronaldo is threatening to leave Spain, after being accused
of evading €14.7million (£13m/$16.4m) in tax payments by Madrid’s criminal prosecution
system.
He has, however, received the support from Tebas, who has
told La Sexta: “Knowing the environment and the professional that it is, I have
no doubt that Cristiano is innocent.
“We live in a time when any news related to the Spanish
treasury is to point out criminals. From what I have read, I am convinced that
there is no crime.”
Tebas added that Ronaldo departs, it would be “an
irreparable loss”.
He added: “It is not possible to quantify, but would be very
important.
“Even more so with the international growth of the League.
It would be a great loss for us, an irreparable loss.”
Ronaldo netted 42 goals in 46 appearances for Madrid in the
2016/2017 campaign.
