It’s a story which has been brewing over the last few weeks and one which probably won’t make Real Madrid fans particularly happy.
Cristiano Ronaldo has publicly spoken of his dissatisfaction with the club’s transfer policy over the summer.
Madrid signed Tony Kroos and James Rodriguez but Cristiano Ronaldo is clearly upset by the departures of Xabi Alonso and Angel di Maria – arguably two of the team’s best creators.
“I have my very clear opinion, but I must calculate and I cannot always say what I think because tomorrow I will be on the front of the papers and I do not want that,” Ronaldo said.
“But if I was in charge, maybe I would not do things like that. Everyone has their opinion and is free to say what they think. If the president thinks that the best thing for the team is to sign these players and let go those who left then we have to respect and support his decision.”
Recent reports in The Independent that three Manchester United players are now earning more money than Ronaldo – a player considered by many to be the world’s best – will do nothing to appease the lad.
Both Di Maria – and fellow Old Trafford newcomer Radamel Falcao – are believed to be now earning more than Ronaldo, not to mention Wayne Rooney who reportedly signed a £300,000 a week deal with United in February.
So, at 29 years of age, perhaps this will be Ronaldo’s last season at Real Madrid.
And the club could be planning for the future with reports today suggesting that Chelsea’s Eden Hazard could be a target for the Spanish giants.
Hazard has been one of the best players in England over the last couple of years and, at 23 years of age, is only going to improve.
He’s lightening quick, has fantastic feet and has started scoring lots of goals over the last year or so. He may not be quite as prolific as Ronaldo at the moment in front of goal but he looks to be honing his scoring skills by the month.
The Guardian says:
it seems Real Madrid are taking a good long look at Eden Hazard
We can easily imagine Hazard becoming the next big star at Real Madrid and perhaps he can be the successor to Cristiano Ronaldo. The price would apparently be somewhere around £60m.
Let’s see the Lad in action. Real Madrid fans: a decent alternative to the legendary Portuguese?

yes that was a mastake to sale de maria but how ever kroos will replace.so due to changes the team will suffered a lot because players have to adopt combination s .so if ronaldo left Madrid fans won’t be happy because he is the most important player and Madrid without ronaldo is not good so don’t let him go
