Cristiano Ronaldo is reconsidering his desire to leave Real Madrid after he was told about Florentino Perez's comments coming to his defense on tax issues.

"Cristiano isn't someone who is motivated by money. He's hurt, and possibly quite rightly so, because he has tried not to upset anyone. Cristiano isn't a business. He is part of Real Madrid's history," said Perez.

Ronaldo previously requested a transfer away from Real Madrid.
