Newly re-elected Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is “not contemplating” Cristiano Ronaldo leaving the European champions, despite talk of the disgruntled star returning to Manchester United.
The reigning Ballon d’Or and Best FIFA Men’s Player award winner is believed to feel singled out for disproportionate treatment after Spanish prosecutors accused him of evading tax of €14.7million euros (£12.8m).
Those allegations were denied in a statement by Ronaldo’s management company Gestifute, while Real Madrid say they have “full confidence” in a player who “will prove his total innocence in this process”.
