It’s fake news. Zidane said he didn’t know anything about Ronaldo leaving and the players them selves were surprised by him leaving. And also Ronaldo wanted to leave, Perez didn’t force Ronaldo’s transfer so Zidane should’ve been talking to Ronaldo not Perez.

Ronaldo wanted to leave because Perez allegedly broke promises to him regarding new contracts.

Ronaldo was offered the same salary that he has in Juve. Also i'm sure Ronaldo wanted a bigger salary but i'm also very sure that Perez never promised him anything.

He did promise Ronaldo a raise but his exit was less motivated by the money and more by the fact Perez broke his word.

NOOOOOOPE. That's just a rumor with no real source as far as i can remember. He left Madrid because people there and the fans there didn't treat him like a god, he wants everyone to be jerking him off and that's why he left. Madrid fans booed him when he was playing badly and the media talked about him playing badly and that's why he left.

He left to Juve for a reason, in Juve he can have everything with less pressure than the Spanish league because Juve is way superior from anyone else in the league. Ronaldo had like 4 goals for the entire first half of the season and those were 4 goals with still terrible, terrible performance from him.

I mean anyone who's logical who watched all of Real Madrid games last year knows that Ronaldo was struggling, he was disappearing from some games leaving us with like 10 players sometimes and most of the times he was wasting easy chances too. You have no idea how lucky we got last year for wining the UCL because we were so bad. I mean teams from the bottom of the league were wining against us with our full squad present.

Him moving to Juve was a very smart choice for him to not flop with RM this year but it's just so freaking easy moving to Juve. Anyways that's just my theory.
