Marquez: Ronaldo Looks Set To Leave Real Madrid

MADRID • Less than a month after Singapore billionaire Peter Lim acquired Cristiano Ronaldo’s image rights, there have been suggestions that the six-year deal will be followed by a big-money move for the Real Madrid superstar.

After being heavily criticised for his absence, Perez organised a hastily arranged send-off ceremony the following day and stated during the proceedings that it had been Casillas’ desire to depart.

“He hasn’t uttered one single truth in years”, Marquez told Spanish newspaper AS.

“That was a lack of respect towards Iker”.

Florentino doesn’t like black players. I also fought with him over (Samuel) Eto’o.

Perez notably allowed hardman Claude Makalele to leave for European rivals Chelsea earlier in his tenure as president, while star Cameroon forward Samuel Eto’o was given just three games for Los Blancos before moving on to a number of top continental stars later in his career.

Madrid signed glamorous, well-known footballers, but failed to consistently win trophies.

The agent of Iker Casillas has suggested that Cristiano Ronaldo could be the next high-profile departure from Real Madrid. The only clash he had with [Carlo] Ancelotti was over Bale. He thinks that Bale is the best in the world. He doesn’t know how to take care of the Ballon d’Or victor which he already has in the squad.

Bale played in the No. 10 role in Saturday’s friendly against Roma in the United States and Benitez confirmed that employing the Welshman in that position was “not an experiment”.

‘Imagine Cristiano generating 40 million euros elsewhere and giving it to Peter Lim, Valencia’s owner.

‘Will anyone speak out and Madrid why Cristiano has sold his image rights to Peter Lim?,’ said Marquez. “That’s not normal; it suggests that Cristiano is planning to leave”, he said.
