Ronaldo dodges questions on new Real Madrid deal

Real Madrid forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, on Tuesday refused to answer questions about a new contract at the club.

The 32-year-old instead told reports to ask the club’s president, Florentino Perez.

Ronaldo was linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu in June, after he was accused of not paying €14.7million in taxes on image rights income.

He denied the charges but could face a bill, including fines of more than €40million or even time in prison if he is found guilty.

Perez has already dismissed the idea of Madrid’s record goal scorer receiving a pay increase, to help him deal with the situation.

When asked if he expected to extend his deal, Ronaldo speaking after his brace against Borussia Dortmund, said: “That is a good question.

“I am happy, things happen in a natural way. That is a better question maybe for the president – he would know better than me how to answer.”
