CRISTIANO Ronaldo has told Real Madrid he wants them to pay his fine to the Spanish tax office, according to The Sun. It adds that, amid contract negotiations, Ronaldo, 33, has requested Real Madrid pay the fee — but the club have refused. Both the Portuguese striker and Spanish tax authorities want the matter sorted soon — ideally before the start of the World Cup. Meanwhile, Ronaldo has made it clear to Real the five players he does not want in the team next season, according to reports in Spain. Los Blancos are expected to undergo a major squad revamp in the summer, according to Daily Star.
