The early part of the summer had some astonishing revelations surrounding the newly crowned Champions League finalist, Cristiano Ronaldo. It was yet another award for the world class player who was rumored to be leaving Madrid earlier this summer. As the Confederations Cup began, speculation regarding a departure due to tax issues in Spain was revolving around CR7 and the Portugal camp. At that time, it seemed like the superstar might be on his way to PSG or Manchester. Just over a month has passed, and talks of a departure have grown silent, now with Real coach confirming CR7’s stay in Madrid.

Interviewed by Sport, Real Madrid coach Zidane has said that Cristiano Ronaldo will remain in the Spanish capital next season. "He is on vacation, he is resting and he deserves it. Have I spoken to him? No because Cristiano Ronaldo is Madrid and he will stay with us."
