Pay My Tax or I leave - Ronaldo
The superstar shocked Real and their supporters this week when reports emerged he was unhappy in Spain and wanted to leave due to recent tax fraud allegations.
Manchester United are one of just several clubs who have been linked with a transfer, but Ronaldo has reportedly given Real one final chance to keep him.
The Mirror claim Ronaldo has been outraged by the Spanish authorities’ allegations that he has defrauded the tax man.
Most expensive transfers of all time
Paul Pogba – Juventus to Manchester United – £89million
Gareth Bale – Tottenham to Real Madrid – £85million
Cristiano Ronaldo – Manchester United to Real Madrid – £80million
Gonzalo Higuain – Napoli to Juventus – £75million
Luis Suarez – Liverpool to Barcelona – £65million
James Rodriguez – Monaco to Real Madrid – £63million
Oscar – Chelsea to Shanghai SIPG – £60million
Angel Di Maria – Real Madrid to Manchester United – £59million
Kaka – AC Milan to Real Madrid – £56million
Kevin De Bruyne – Wolfsburg to Manchester City – £55million
Barcelona star Lionel Messi faced a similar charge this year and was found guilty of tax fraud in June.
Ronaldo is in danger of suffering the same fate, but is furious that Real have not offered more support after okaying his tax arrangements.
Real reportedly assessed and sanctioned Ronaldo’s tax plan and their record goalscorer is fuming he has not received their unwavering support.
The Los Blancos board have decided they will not stand in Ronaldo’s way should he demand an exit, but are equally determined to receive a healthy fee for the world’s most premier goalscorer.
Ronaldo’s release clause stands at £875 million, but the La Liga champions will set an asking price of £175 million.
That figure will rule out a slew of interested clubs who would be paying a world record fee for the 32-year-old attacker.
United have so far refused to comment on the developing situation of their once worshiped star man.
