Real Madrid President chooses not to discuss striker’s future amid transfer speculation

Real Madrid President Florentino Perez has been re-elected as the president for the second time. But avoided to discuss the burning question of Christiano Ronaldo’s future during the address he gave to mark his re-election on Monday evening.The 32 year old who is the reigning Ballon d’Or and Best Fifa Men’s Player of the year has been linked with a return to Manchester United having been “outraged” by what he feels is unfair treatment by Spanish tax authorities, making him determined to leave the country.

Ronaldo signed a new deal with Real in November and is under contract until 2021 though his disgruntlement has caused an issue for Florentino Perez as he begins his new term as the head of the European and Spanish champions.

However, when speaking publicly on Monday having ran unopposed to return as president for the next four years, Perez did not reference Ronaldo when discussing the current state of Los Blancos.

In quotes published on Marca’s website, Perez said: “We have built a legendary team with the best players from Spain and the world, but also with many players from our youth academy.

“This is the model that will continue to define Real Madrid. When united, this club is practically indestructible.”

But there is still a chance that Perez could comment on Ronaldo’s situation on Monday evening during an interview he is scheduled to conduct with Spanish radio station Onda Cero.
