Ronaldo Wants Out
Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Real Madrid by June 2018.
According to reports, Ronaldo has been unhappy at the club for some time.
He has clashed with his teammates, who have told the media that they find his antics “annoying” and not in “the best interests of the club”.
The 32-year-old Portuguese international has also argued with manager Zinedine Zidane, blaming him for the club’s poor performance lately.
The last straw for Ronaldo was the recent contract extension he was offered.
According to a Spanish journalist: “Cristiano has already told the club he wants to leave, he is very angry about the offer of renewal, he considers that he needs more affection, the club does not value him.”
Ronaldo’s contract only expires in 2021, and he has asked Real’s president Florentino Perez to let him leave early for a “reasonable” fee. Perez has reportedly refused.
The former Manchester United attacker has had a slow start to his season. He has scored just one goal in seven La Liga appearances, and missed the first four games due to suspension.
Ronaldo has fared better in the Champions League, scoring six goals in four matches.
