Florentino Pérez and Cristiano Ronaldo ask for a divorce at Real Madrid
The pair have clashed again after Cristiano admitted he was interested by Juventus' offer before Perez told the press he wouldn't be sold
It's becoming "Groundhog Day" at Real Madrid as Florentino Perez and Cristiano Ronaldo clash once again this summer. "Complete Break Up" is 'Tuttosport''s headline this Tuesday as they explain why Juventus are negotiating for Cristiano. The president and Real Madrid's star can't even look each other and these arguments are hurting the image of the club. All this coming from Cristiano's comments where he flirted with an exit from the Spanish club and it appears Juventus are interested in mending his 'broken heart'.
The Portuguese superstar may or may not stay at Real Madrid, the club he has a contract with until 2021 and a buyout clause of €1000m, but no one knows for sure what Perez's asking price is. This is causing yet another war between the two Madrid heavyweights. One, who is defending the interests of his club, at least that's what he says, and the other, who defends his place as the best player in the world, at least that's what he says.
threats and counter threats
The two trade threats but as is commonplace in those who don't really want to follow through in their actions, they bark rather than bite. Cristiano threatens Florentino with leaving every time one of his direct rivals gets a wage increase. He feels he is the best in the world and, as such, should be paid more than Messi and Neymar. Florentino said okay, goodbye, but before he goes to bring enough money for him to sign Neymar knowing full well that it's impossible to do that. Threats and counter threats.
The Italian newspaper with close links to Juventus know what they are talking about. Only Juve, PSG and Manchester United are capable of signing the Portuguese superstar. The good relationship between the Italians and Jorge Mendes makes a €120m deal a bit easier. But Madrid argue they don't need to sell, that their relationship with Mendes is just as good - if not better - than the one Juventus has with him and the buyout clause is €1000m until someone proves otherwise. Behind the Italian newspaper is Cristiano, or his people, and behind Real Madrid is Florentino Perez, or his 'leakers'.
