Iker Casillas’ agent Santos Marquez believes that Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to leave Real Madrid.
Marquez claims Ronaldo’s decision to sell his image rights to Mint Media, a company owned by Valencia’s chairman Peter Lim, suggests that the Portuguese could be set to leave the Bernabeu.
The Portugal captain is contracted to Real Madrid until 2018 but Marquez claims his decision is “not normal” and is evidence that the formerManchester United man is not happy at Madrid.
"One day [Perez] will need to explain why Cristiano works for another company outside of Real Madrid," the agent told AS in a question and answer session.
"Imagine Cristiano generating €40 million elsewhere and giving it to Peter Lim, Valencia’s owner. It ends up in Valencia’s coffers and that’s deplorable.
"Will anyone speak out and ask Florentino why Cristiano has sold his image rights to Peter Lim?
"That’s not normal; it suggests that Cristiano is planning to leave."
Perez had been criticised for his handling of Casillas’ exit from the club but claimed that the goalkeeper chose to leave the club and was not forced out.
The 34-year-old goalkeeper was under contract with Real for another two seasons but decided to leave for Porto amid constant speculation that Manchester United's David de Gea will eventually join the Spanish giants.
