Taxes are the main reason why Ronaldo left Real

Ronaldo began to consider leaving Real in May 2017, when he got into more and more trouble with the Spanish tax authorities. According to the accusation, CR7 evaded about $15 million in taxes and was at risk of going to jail.

According toThe World, in a meeting at the home of his agent Jorge Mendes, Ronaldo told his advisers: "I don't want to take any risks. I don't study much, and the only thing I do in life is play football, but I'm not stupid and I don't trust anyone. That's why I always pay 30% more than required when hiring an adviser. I don't want any problems."

To reassure him, lawyer Carlos Osorio claimed responsibility and advised Ronaldo not to worry. However, a few months later, when he had to make a deal with the court, Ronaldo became very angry.

In addition to tax troubles, Ronaldo also had many problems with Real. Because Real kept their distance from Ronaldo after the scandal, CR7 considered it a betrayal. The Portuguese star was also angry that the team did not give him the salary that Messi and Neymar get at Barca and PSG.

Another problem for Ronaldo is that he is not considered the best player in Real's history. In a fan vote, CR7 had to rank behind the late legend Alfredo Di Stefano.
