Cristiano Ronaldo: ‘I never said that I would leave Madrid’
Rumours
Conflicting reports had emerged over recent days as to the future of the Portuguese attacker, with some insisting that his mind has been made up for some time and that he will leave Madrid this summer, while others, based around the birth of his new twin babies, maintain that Ronaldo will settle down with his family in Spain for the foreseeable future.
Staying put
And, as per the aforementioned report, the latter of these instances seems to bear more truth, with the 32-year-old having been quoted as saying the following:
‘I never said that I would leave Madrid. I commented at a dinner with teammates that I was hurt, that I felt mistreated, persecuted and treated as a delinquent when I fulfilled my tax obligations following the instructions of my advisers and lawyers, both in England and in Spain.’
Herein lies the key to all of the rumours linking Ronaldo with a summer exit from Madrid.
