According to reports in Spain, Cristiano Ronaldo's working relationship with Rafael Benitez has suffered another drastic downturn.
El Confidencial claims that during a meeting with "Real" president Florentino Perez, Ronaldo did not mince words and expressed his opinion about Benitez, adding: "With this coach, we won't win anything."
It is said that Perez is dissatisfied with Ronaldo's behavior and frequent comments about the possibility of leaving the Madrid team. It is also reported that the "Real" president, speaking to one of the club directors about the Portuguese's future, hinted at the possibility of selling the player: "If someone pays the buyout clause, just let him go and everything will be over."
This report also claims that the 30-year-old footballer hardly communicates with Benitez, and the fact that no one from the team, not even club director Emilio Butragueno, appeared at his movie premiere, deeply hurt the forward.
El Confidencial also pointed out that according to them, Ronaldo confessed to his close friends that he does not get along with Gareth Bale neither on the field nor off it, and he prefers to play alongside Karim Benzema rather than the Welsh national team player.
