LONDON. – Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to leave Real Madrid this summer because he does not want to play in Spain any more, according to a report in Portugal.
Ronaldo wants to leave Real Madrid, according to reports in his native Portugal, in a decision that has been described as “irreversible”.
The 32-year-old former Manchester United winger 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 yesterday.
A Bola’s front page yesterday led with their story which claims that the former Manchester United forward is “outraged” after being accused of evading €14.7 million (£13m) in tax by Spanish prosecutors – a charge he completely denies.
And Real Madrid will leave the door open for Manchester United to make a move for Ronaldo if the forward follows through with his wish to leave the club this summer, according to reports in Spain.
The Portugal captain is facing allegations from Madrid’s regional state prosecutor of four counts of tax fraud relating to image rights payments. Madrid’s state prosecutor alleged he used an off-shore company to hide a portion of his income from the tax office.
Ronaldo’s management company Gestifute insisted on Thursday the company, Tollin, established during his time with Manchester United – from whom he moved to Real Madrid in 2009 – has acted in accordance with British and Spanish tax laws. – Agencies.
