Real Madrid Plan to meet next Monday or Tuesday

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to meet with Real Madrid next Monday or Tuesday to discuss his future and to address his wish to leave the club.

The player has been in Russia to represent Portugal at the Confederations Cup, but is now returning home after being knocked out in the semi-final and after being allowed to miss the third-place match.

The directors at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu are keen to meet with the 32-year-old as soon as possible, having not yet been in contact with the player since his shock revelation that he wishes to leave Spain, made days after being charged with defrauding the tax authorities of 14.7 million euros.

"We do not know from his own mouth what is true intentions are," one club source told DPA.

"We are counting on him, but we have to know what it is he wants.

"Ronaldo's future will determine the sporting plans of the club for next season and this is something that we need to solve as soon as possible."

For the time being, Real Madrid have frozen all purchases and sales, as they wait to learn what will happen with their No.7.
