Cristiano Ronaldo has told Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, that he is ‘treated like a criminal’ in Spain and that is why he wants to leave.
Ronaldo is accused of tax fraud amounting to £13million and has reportedly made an ‘irreversible’ decision to leave the Bernabeu this summer.
Zidane spoke with Ronaldo over the weekend, to try and talk him into staying at Los Blancos, with the 32-year-old away on international duty at the Confederations Cup.
But according to Spanish radio station COPE, Ronaldo told his boss: “In Spain I am treated like a criminal. It starts with the media.”
The former Manchester United forward has reportedly instructed his agent, Jorge Mendes, to broker a move back to Old Trafford, with United’s Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said to be plotting a £175million deal which would also see David De Gea finally seal his move to the Spanish capital .
