Real Madrid president Florentino Perez says Cristiano Ronaldo's apparent dissatisfaction is "all very strange," but that both he and the club expect the superstar to stay at the Bernabeu this summer.
Ronaldo, the reigning Ballon d'Or award winner, feels he is being treated unfairly by Spain's tax authorities, whose "persecution" has made him determined to leave Real Madrid and the country, a source confirmed to ESPN FC.
After initially avoiding the burning question Ronaldo's future during the address he gave to mark his re-election on Monday evening, Perez opened up in an interview on radio station Onda Cero for the first time since the news broke on Friday.
