Ronaldo Unhappy at Real Madrid

MD1990

Cristiano Ronaldo left reporters scratching their heads tonight when he said he did not celebrate his goals in Real Madrid's 3-0 La Liga home win over Granada because he was "sad" for "professional" reasons.
The Portugal international, who asked to be substituted after picking up a knock in the second half at the Bernabeu, said his feelings had nothing to do with losing out to Andres Iniesta for the Best Player in Europe award on Thursday but refused to elaborate.
"I don't celebrate goals when I am feeling sad and that's the case today," Ronaldo said, adding it was a "professional" and not a "personal" issue.
"The people who work here know why and I won't say anymore than that," he said
Ronaldo said he should be fit to feature for Portugal in their World Cup 2014 qualifiers against Luxembourg and Azerbaijan next week.
"Let's see in a few days if I recover because I want to play with the national team and they are important qualifiers for us," he said.
"For sure in the next two or three days I will be fine.

La Masia ‏@Youngcules According to Punto Pelota, Cristiano Ronaldo has told Real Madrid president Florentino Perez that he wants to leave the club

double GG

He's going back to United.

MD1990

how many years does he have on his contract?

Melion

No team could afford him. If he was worth 80m when they signed him he has doubled that value

Adamcp898

And according to Guilleam Balague some radio station in Madrid has said he's told Perez he wants out, as much as I'd love to see him back I'd say this is all largely bull**** and could be something like the club want to declare him injured for the national games but he wants to play.

Liverpool.

Hasn't he said before that he wants to return to United at some point?

MagicMarker

Welcome home Ronaldo, we've missed you.

Fart

Back to UNITED!!!

I've photoshopped an image to see what he'd look like in a UTD kit.

Since Rodgers and Mourinho are mates maybe we can get a discount. Say... 95% off?

Have United got a spare 150m laying around?

City could. Would love to see it, purely to sicken United fans

Ken.

If he wants out why wait till 2 days after the transfer window closes. Angling for a pay raise,I'd put money on it.

Fergie fergie sign him up...

Could you imagine a forward line of a fully fit rooney, van persie and ronaldo.....

Messi signs a new contract with Barca and he's now the highest paid player in the world ahead of Ronaldo. 2 weeks later Ronaldo kicks up a fuss either to get a new contract from RM or to get shipped to City or PSG, in order to sign a new contract and get his "status" back. Yes, he's THAT small time. Sad excuse for a human being.

Mr.Nice Guy

I doubt United could afford the Brazilian Ronaldo right now.

Surely nothing more than a rumour?

I could only dream of his return to Old Trafford.

GLaDOS

Not a chance he'll leave

kevohmsford

Sounds like Ronaldo just wants more money at Real Madrid.

MagicMarker

How much is Messi on?

Mr.Nice Guy

It's probably a non-issue like he wants his own dressing room or a better parking space or something.

Whatsisname

Even if this is true, I couldn't see him going anywhere but United, I think he simply loves the club too much and has way too much respect for everyone at United and the club in general.

But in saying that, theres no way we could afford him..

When can you buy out your own contract? He could afford that and move back to United!

Madrid wouldn't have him. Mourinho would, but not a chance Perez would

I'll rephrase that. No team would pay £150m for him.

Footballers don't love clubs and fans really need to realise that. They don't have 10% of the emotion for a club that you do. It's a job for them, one they get paid stupid amounts of money to do and as soon as someone offers them better wages and/or trophy prospects, they're gone.

Sad excuse for a human being? Bit far perhaps.

Bar players like Gerrard, carra, scholes, Neville etc.

Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher might disagree.

And anyway so what if he wants more money? He is damn right. If you thought you could be earning more money you would jump at the chance too.

You think Scholes, Giggs and Neville would have hung around if United weren't winning trophies and if they weren't some of the highest paid sportsmen in the country?

Yakult

Obviously looking for an improved contract and nothing more. If he wanted to leave he would have done so before the window closed. Not a day after it closes.

Yes.
Neville, for example, helping the Youth's out with negotiating with management in terms of contracts.
And none of them were grossly overpaid. Scholes never even had an agent I believe.

Are you suggesting the 3 United players only stayed at United because they were well paid and successful.
Why did you not use that example for Gerrard, Carragher, etc.

Paully D

I would absolutely love to see him back in the Premier League. However, I'd imagine he's been promised something or asked for something but either way the hierarchy have failed to follow through. I'm sure it will be resolved soon enough.

Explain to me why vdV took a 25% paycut to return to a team that narrowly avoided relegation last season. He went from battling for a Europe spot with Spurs to battling for mid-table at best, possibly even battling relegation...and he asked for the move..

There are lots of footballers who are all about the money, but don't tar them all with the same brush.

Unfortunately his own release clause is €1 billion don't think he'll be paying that

Le Tissier comes to mind. And Tony Adams to an extent, yes Arsenal won things but there were barren spells in the early 90s until when Wenger arrived.

Add Shearer to that list.
