Cristiano Ronaldo & Real Madrid
Journalist Duncan Castles has reported on Christmas Day that Cristiano Ronaldo is unhappy with Real Madrid.
So much for the festive spirit!
Real Madrid suffered a major loss in La Liga last weekend in El Clasico. Barcelona won 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Spanish top flight.
Goals for Luis Suarez, Leo Messi and Aleix Vidal gave Barcelona a 14 point lead over Real Madrid heading into the new year.
Atletico Madrid are the closest challengers t o Barcelona right now. But the Rojiblancos are nine points behind the Catalans.
‘Real Madrid flirt with Neymar’
According to Castles, who has close ties to Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes, the Real Madrid star has “reached a point where he doesn’t even want to talk to the president, Florentino Perez.”
The source of Ronaldo’s frustration is PSG and Brazil star Neymar. Castles explains:
Ronaldo has been angered by Madrid’s failure to deliver an improved contract.
Ronaldo has also complained to friends of a lack of respect on the part of Madrid’s president in publicly flirting with Neymar on the night the Portugal international collected the fifth Ballon d’Or of his career.
For the record, Ronaldo is under contract at Real Madrid until 2021.
