Ronaldo seems to be holding Real to ransom every year.
Everyone who wants him back, be careful what you wish for. Yes, he's the worlds biggest footballing superstar, an extremely deadly striker and a United legend. But even if at 32 he shows no signs of slowing down, he requires careful dosification in order to perform. How will that play with Mourinho who's slowly building up his squad?
Then there's the whole question of the distractions resulting from this legal case. If the Spanish tribunal presses charges, him leaving will look very, very bad, and might influence the judges against him. In the worst case scenario, paying the fine is not enough and could result in a jail sentence. Granted rich people always get their sentences suspended (like Messi) but it's still a mess.

We have no idea what he wants from all this. It's not contract related, we don't know if he wants a messi hashtag or government influence, or Madrid pay the fine, or he actually wants to leave.
He probably had a chat with Messi.
Probably. They take turns. So now messi got a new contract, it's his turn.

I would be surprised if he actually wants to leave. Any other club is a step down and at RM he would have the best chance to overtake messi's ballon d'or haul.
Unless he feels like he is in decline and can't continue this level
probably want's his hashtag and Madrid to pay all the fine like Barsa did with Messi.
Right.
But it would hardly be the 1 billion buy out clause. If it were true he wanted out surely he'd only go for about 100 million in todays market, which considering what a successful buy he's been for them getting 100 mil would still be incredible business for them.
I fully expect him to finish his career there. Why would he leave, 14 mil is nothing to him ffs.
Rich people tend to value money a lot more than is simpletons

Ronaldo probably doesn't even know the password.
Does anybody know if Real Madrid can realistically fix this (money wise) what exactly would need to happen? The bill is about 10-14 million, would they need to pay it out of their own pocket to keep him happy? Surely a one time 10-14 million payment to keep Ronaldo isnt even that bad?
This stinks of a "whos gonna blink first" contest. I can't wait until the day Real Madrid decide theyre bigger than him, then he can come home!

The prices that are going around for him are ridiculous. He has a couple of years left in the tank and even during those he wouldn't have his speed anymore.

It's confederation cup now, isn't it? Most people in charge of players' social media profiles always do this when they're playing for their NTs.
He doesn't really need that much speed to remain a world class player
Yeah but he's not just a speed merchant. If we were going to manage 5 shots on goal all game against any team? I'd want Ronaldo to have all 5. Not everyone can remodel themselves and we're not at that point but I wouldn't put it past him. Giggs did it and it's not beyond Ronaldo
I think that's basically what they are angling for. He feels it's their fault and is saying to them "Pay 15m to clear my tax bill, you owe me this for everything I have achieved here. Also, 15m is the transfer fee of a very average player, I'm the best in the world so you would be stupid not to pay it to have me here next year".
Let people go crazy. Don't spoil the fun of watching people combust over nothing.
If the rumours are true - that they asked the press not to use photos of him in a Real kit when reporting the story, you can see why he'd be a bit hacked off.
From the other angle, why would the club pay his tax bill? If he's taken bad advice it's his problem, not theirs.
Thank you for your great post! Very insightful.
Imagine what Ronaldo will do in a league where the likes of Harry Kane and Lukaku are banging in goals for fun.
And, unlike a lot of signings from abroad he's League proven. He scored plenty of goals for us whilst having the shite kicked out of him on a regular basis. In terms of buying goals I think he's as close as a sure thing as you can get.
Ah, I see. Cheers for the info and small anecdotes in there. Just confirming what we all half-knew but continue to play along because we hope for good news.
Hope this doesn't spill into days and weeks, seems inevitable at this point though.
They have no jurisdiction over him if he's not in the country!
And how do we know your not BSing us??!!?
Just kidding, irrespective of whether you were a joirno or not what you have said is the position I hold. They know nothing unless they are briefed like Duncan Castles for example and it's rarely any more than just before the official announcement before the club.
The papers are almost completely obsolete and will be dead on the sports from when clubs realise if they control the narrative and release the fianal word themselves they will get people clicking on their official social media sites generating them cash instead. I hope all clubs do this to stop these clowns from stealing a living.
You make a good point but, as other have mentioned, you would need the team to be tailored around him as well.
I would pay 100 million euros for him, we would make that in no time and also woodward gets to tell everyone how big his dick is. We will get a guarnatee of 30 goals a season. Also it will be amazing and so sentimental and all that. Make it happen woodward.
I know it wont and it ends with him signing a contract and saying Hala madrid and kissing madrid batch. Hope!

if he leaves Spain does he still have to pay the tax?
If we managed to get Morata and Ronaldo, that can be done easily. Morata's heat map shows he likes to drift to the left flanks, pulling CB away and creating space for Ronaldo who will start on the left. In a 433, this will mean Pogba and Herrera will push up to support the left and right flanks too, while whoever starts on the right will be moving into the box, creating space for Valencia. Problem is that the Morata deal needs to be our priority and that seems to have stallled.
Why should they pay it though? He's fecked up. If the tax man comes after you or I then we have to pay up. No questions asked and no bail out by our employer.
He should stop being a little bitch and pay up what he should have paid in the first place.
The guy earnt £90 fecking million last year, what's £15 million to him?
They would have no jurisdiction over him and no authority to enforce payment.
I don't know how it works in Spain, but here they wouldn't even be able to proceed with the case in his absence.
They do still do this though, it was a clear case United briefed the press on the Griezemann transfer, no?
So he is basically trying to flee the country. Nice.
I guess China could be a safe harbor for tax evaders.

interesting, so threatening to leave Spain would be a genuine threat to make
That's not true. It's easy to enforce criminal or civil penalties across borders in the EU - and further afield due to numerous treaties.
You can't just move away when you're being investigated for a crime. Any fine will be enforced, not least as he'll have assets in Spain which can be frozen if they think he won't pay. Any criminal sanction can be enforced across borders.
It's irrelevant anyway. From a PR perspective alone he'll do all he can to cooperate.
Can we finally thank Brexit then?
I also think that will be his eventual get-out. When Real inevitably back him and pay his tax bill he'll say he was angry and upset with Spain and not real.
Then everything will return to normal.
Sorry, but it absolutely is not possible.
