Cristiano Ronaldo Once Again Demands Move From Real After Rejecting Contract

Cristiano Ronaldo is either the boy who cried wolf or a man who really wants to leave Real Madrid as soon as ever. Once again he's reportedly unhappy, wants to leave and has rejected a new deal.

Just as the footballing summer was kicking in and the days were getting longer, both literally and feeling that way because there was little football to fill the void, Cristiano Ronaldo was accused of tax evasion in Spain.

That led to the footballing superstar to claim that he was fed up of life in Spain and wanted to transfer away from the country. PSG and Manchester United circled whilst Ronaldo got ready for the Confederations Cup.

Then nothing happened. Neymar moved to PSG, United spent the whole transfer window trying to sign Ivan Perisic and the world went crazy over transfer prices.

So far this season it's been a mixed bag for the four time Ballon d'Or winner. In the Champions League he's bagged six goals in four appearances but in La Liga he's scored just one in seven.

Now Spanish tv programme El Chiringuito claim that the Portuguese forward has rejected a new deal from Los Blancos and wants to be allowed to leave for a reasonable price, presumably at the end of the season.

Ronaldo's current contract runs until 2021 but his team reportedly wanted to extend the length on his deal but the player has no interest in staying any longer and instead told Florentino Perez he wants to leave.

His form in the league is reflected by his team who already sit eight points behind Barcelona and his continued desire to leave could be part of his slump in form.

It remains to be seen what kind of price Real would let their former record signing leave the Bernabeu for and whether or not PSG and United would remain interested.

Will Ronaldo finally leave Real or is it just another play to get what he wants?
