Cristiano Ronaldo has
undergone a change of heart over his future and has decided to remain at Real
Madrid, according to reports in Spain.
Ronaldo
informed the club that he would leave if he was convicted of tax fraud and even
held a secret meeting with Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi,
just hours before scoring twice in the Champions League final win over
Juventus. But AS report that Ronaldo has now chosen to stay at Madrid, having
been convinced by the club’s hierarchy that he remains crucial to their future
plans. Despite an upcoming court appearance on July 31 over the tax
accusations, the outlet report that Ronaldo’s representatives have persuaded
him that it’s in his best interests to continue at the Bernabeu. AS’s Sunday
edition front page shows the 32-year-old using a flyboard while on holiday,
accompanied by the headline ‘Ronaldo is relaxing.’ Perez previously suggested
he would talk with the player after he returned from the Confederations Cup and
asserted that he was confident he would stay. The president has repeatedly come
out in Ronaldo’s defence since the allegations and said it was unacceptable
that his star man was being ‘treated like a criminal’. Ronaldo flew back to
Madrid in time to be with his newborn twins, who were born via a surrogate
mother, after Portugal were knocked out in the semi-finals by Chile. Though
Madrid’s squad will report for pre-season training on Monday, Ronaldo will be
given extra time off to recover and is not expected to return until late July.
