Now that is why Madrid want extra 20 m for morata
Does anybody know what his buy out clause is?
Doesn't he also have 4years remaining on his contract?

1b Euros.
1 BILLION euros
His buyout clause is 1 Billion Euros. The only realistic way this happens is if Ronaldo forces the move. We can easily afford his wages and a huge transfer fee of £100M+
The only real hurdle for us is if Ronaldo actually wants to leave Madrid.
They tried this last year. The football wikileaks documents relating to him (they came out a few months ago) appear to be all about the best tax company in Spain freaking out at the mess his previous tax advisors had left. They were the ones who advised him to pay the back tax sharpish (which he did), and be prepared for the tax office to carry on digging and challenging some of the weaker looking contract documents (which they did).
It's clear that the same source reported the same words to each journalist.http://www.record.pt/internacional/real-madrid/detalhe/cristiano-ronaldo-ja-nao-volta-a-madrid.html

Doesn't mean much. They also announced Ramos signing was imminent a few years ago. He could still do a 180 and sign a new contract at any time.
Until Ronaldo or Madrid release an official saying he's going I refuse to get excited!
I can't do it myself....again

BBC reporting it as well now. Too much smoke for there not to be a fire. There's definitely something to it. He may still change his mind but it seems like he wants to leave at this moment.
Intriguing news for any football fan, though I'm undecided as to whether I'd want him for the price. His decline has started, slowly.

Right! At least double that amount, AT LEAST.
He signed one in november. Plus all the reporting is about the way the tax problem has been handled. i seriously doubt you start a contract negotiation 7 months later by saying "my club has fecked me over this tax problem"
Don't do it to yourselves!
Never gonna happen.
Never gonna happen.
I thought I will have a peaceful and quiet summer after the Griezmann transfer failed. Then Ronaldo decides to feck with my muppet heart out of nowhere
This rumour is probably bullshit but if he's really trying to bluff his way to get more money out of us due to his tax ordeal he can feck right off.
@Vato
Do you think he has a point?
And how do you think this will be resolved.
It's certainly not going to endear him to the fans.

Read up on the cases from a few years ago. It's ambiguous how much you have to pay (because of loopholes) and the Spanish Tax Offices have no interest in advising so it's a lot of guesswork. Obviously their job as top accountants is to pay as little as legally possible so it makes it more likely they're going to get into trouble but what's the other option? Pay too much so you don't get in trouble? I don't think that's how top accountants keep getting work.
Here's the thing: reports coming out of Spain are that Cris feels this tax problem is down to the club rather than him
Now, if this is true, Flo needs to step down(we're about to have elections, he doesn't even need to resign. Just don't run for president) and whoever succeeds him must do everything he can to fix this and convince the second greatest player in our history to stay.
If it's not true, and Cris is at fault and is blaming the club to deflect his guilt, then feck him. Nobody is bigger than the club. Good luck to him
If the reports are bs, Cris isn't blaming the club for anything and he just wants to leave Spain, Good Luck and Best Wishes to him, he'll always have a special place in our hearts. He's given us 8 incredible seasons, we're never going to forget everything he's done for us.

Being reported by the BBC and every other outlet with a shred of credibility obviously shows it's not bullshit. However that doesn't mean he's leaving.
I think it's safe to say that Ronaldo has gone full ape shit behind the scenes because of the tax problem and he blames the club. Again, doesn't mean he's leaving, but this is a full blown briefing from mendes.
Now that is why Madrid want extra 20 m for morata
Could you briefly explain why?
I've heard previously that him and Jose weren't the best of friends, but not sure exactly why, and how much truth was in it.
Title/quote would sound so much more epic if it was irrevocable instead of irreversible
1. He signed an extension 7 months ago
2. The media is being briefed that he blames the club for the tax problem. that's not "i'm unhappy", that's "you have caused me real legal problems and I blame you".
The ramos saga was "he'd like a change of scenery", he didn't accuse Madrid of being responsible for legal problems.
We want a number 9, Ronnie has just converted to a number 9.
Must be true
Must be true
Only signed a new deal in November, surely he's not that greedy.
I do feel it's an angle though for Madrid to pay his fine, they'll pay it and everything will be alright.
My understanding is that he does indeed have a point about that.
His image rights arrangement were based on the laws that existed during his first contract.
The laws changed during that contract and the onus is partly on the club to adjust his arrangement to ensure the player doesn't suffer financially.
His gripe is that both the club and the tax authorities did not make the consequences of the new tax laws clear to him.
I like how the man utd rep is still facing the left after the footballer walked past him
This isn't a new contract scenario it's just a "pay my tax bill" scenario. £15m to keep Ronaldo at the club? Like a new signing...
How anyone thinks "You have caused me significant legal trouble" is the opening pitch to a contract extension 7 months after signing a contract extension is fecking mental.
this is all about the tax problem and we'll see where it goes from there.

Great, another player for our homegrown quota.
Colleagues believe that the space heater for Christian is a matter of money http://trib.al/kneyexG reports @jfelixdiaz
Space heater?
Felix Diaz is very reliable though.

Bayern, milan or psg for him. Not us.
various media milking this story to the fullest.
Diaz is claiming that the players are claiming it's all anger and bluster for a new contract.
Not contract extension per say.How anyone thinks "You have caused me significant legal trouble" is the opening pitch to a contract extension 7 months after signing a contract extension is fecking mental.
this is all about the tax problem and we'll see where it goes from there.
But I need a new contract to reflect recent developments.
Weird thing about this is that ronaldo has been left out of the real madrid kit launch promo video
