Real Madrid left-back Marcelo has threatened to quit the La Liga and European champions if they decide to sell Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, according to Don Balon.
Reports last week suggested that the Portugal international is prepared to quit Real Madrid during the transfer window, which put Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United on red alert.
Los Blancos supremo Florentino Perez insists that the 32-year-old will not be sold this summer, but speculation over a potential Bernabeu departure remains high.
And now Marcelo has issued an ultimatum to the club, threatening to leave if Ronaldo is sold.
The 29-year-old Brazil international, who registered more assists (10) than any other defender in Europe’s top five leagues last season, four of which were for a Ronaldo goal, is one of a number of Real Madrid players striving to convince the Real Madrid star to stay in the Spanish capital.
It was rumoured that Ronaldo would be allowed to leave to free up funds and wages for the the signing of Kylian Mbappe from Monaco, though Perez has supposedly assured the Portuguese forward that this isn’t the case.
this is a joke right, and if it true its even worse. i mean marcelo came to madrid as a nobody, and was given countless of opportunities that most dont get in madrid, some coaches moved him to mid because how bad he was as a defender, he still is below avg and now he is going to turn on the club that gave him everything he has. he could have been another drenthe.. i am going to think this is just don balon making sh!t up.
"It was rumoured that Ronaldo would be allowed to leave to free up funds and wages for the the signing of Kylian Mbappe from Monaco, though Perez has supposedly assured the Portuguese forward that this isn’t the case." No it wasn´t Ronaldo was the one that said he wants to leave, he know that if he stays in Spain he will be convicted by tax fraud, with that being said his lawyer has already found a way of him not being convicted, therefore this is why he changed his mind
