‘I Want To Go Back To England!!’- Cristiano Ronaldo Tells Judge In Tax Evasion Case

Cristiano Ronaldo, has told the judge at his tax trial in Spain that he wants to go back to England.

Ronaldo is accused of defrauding authorities of €14.7million. He has been in court fighting those charges, with his comments regarding a possible return to England made on July 31.

Cadena SER reports that the Portugal captain, responding to questions from Judge Monica Gomez Ferrer, said: “In England, I never had these problems, that’s why I want to go back there.

“I always paid my taxes, always. In England and in Spain. And I always paid.

“As you know, I cannot hide anything, it would be ridiculous on my part to do such a thing. I am an open book.

“You don’t need to do anything but type my name into Google and everything about Cristiano comes out. For example, Forbes magazine releases all of my earnings”

He added: “I paid everything in 2014. I don’t understand anything about this, I only went to school until my sixth year and the only thing I know how to do is play football well. When my advisors tell me, ‘Cris, it’s okay’ then I believe them.

Ronaldo went on to defend his agent Jorge Mendes, saying: “I pay, I want to be honest and I always pay.

“I trust my advisors and they are the best. I pay them well and they do good things and I leave everything in their hands.”

Mourinho’s U-Turn To Complicate Real Madrid’s Summer Transfer Plans

Real Madrid are set to face a tricky transfer market, following Manchester United’s decision to end their interest in long-term target Alvaro Morata.
The Red Devils have been linked with the Spanish forward for many months, but Real’s reluctance to not sell Morata for less than £80m has now backfired on them, as United have reportedly agreed a fee of £75m for Everton striker Romelu Lukaku on Wednesday.

The news dominated the headlines, just a day after Los Blancos rejected a £70.2m bid from the Premier League giants.

Following their historic claiming of the Champions League and La Liga double, there is no denying that the expectations were sky-high of what Real Madrid are going to do in the summer transfer market.



Despite the current squad being considered as one of the best and not in need of any major additions, the general plan in Florentina Perez’s mind was to move players like Morata and James Rodriguez, who were left frustrated with limited playing time last season.

Manchester United have been given the green light to make a move for Gareth Bale after Real Madrid admitted that they would be willing to sell the 27-year-old, according to reports in France.

L’Equipe claims that Zinedine Zidane and Madrid president Florentino Perez met with Kylian Mbappe last week in order to persuade the Monaco forward to move to the Spanish capital this summer.

During their conversation, Zidane and Perez reportedly told Mbappe that they would be willing to offload one of Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema in order to guarantee him more playing time next season.

L’Equipe claim that out of those three players, Bale’s transfer would be the most likely and United could now follow up with a bid, given their long-standing interest in the Wales international.

L’Equipe claim that Zidane met with Mbappe last week.

Earlier this month, reports claimed that Bale was open to the idea of joining United but Madrid would command a £100 million transfer fee.

United have held talks with over a deal for Bale, although Madrid’s hierarchy are reportedly split over their decision to sell the forward they signed from Tottenham for £86m four years ago.

Ronaldo, meanwhile, is due to meet with Perez after Portugal's Confederations Cup campaign to discuss his own future at the Santiago Bernabeu.
