Ronaldo eyes Bernabeu exit over ‘betrayal’

- By JACK GAUGHAN

CRISTIANO RONALDO has let it be known he feels betrayed by Real Madrid, throwing his future at the Spanish club into doubt.

The 32-year-old was promised a new contract by Real president Florentino Perez after his barnstormi­ng performanc­e in last year’s Champions League final win over Juventus.

But Ronaldo — with 16 goals this season — says talks over a deal have stalled and claims Real did not back him sufficient­ly in July amid a tax fraud case, leaving him to consider a move.

Returning to Manchester United represents a romantic possibilit­y for Ronaldo, although it is unclear if the club are willing to commit the astronomic­al figures required to sign him. The forward earns £350,000 a week at Real.

Paris Saint-Germain are also likely to show interest in the Portuguese, whose Real contract expires in 2021.
