Facebook page explaining what he meant by his outburst with the Spanish media on Sunday night. Ronaldo shocked the footballing world when he told Spanish media that he was unhappy at Real Madridand has now rejected speculation that it was due to money. Ronaldo wrote: In an interview after the club's win on Sunday night against Getafe, where Ronaldo score twice, the former Manchester United player said:

"I€™m sad - when I don€™t celebrate goals it€™s because I€™m not happy. It's a professional thing. Real Madrid know why I€™m not happy."

Real Madrid€™s No.7 cost the Spanish giants £80 million back in 2009 from Manchester United and any team determined to sign the player, would have to meet the £1bn buy-out clause that the Telegraph suggest his club had put into his contract. A report from The Independentstates that Ronaldo's situation has been linked with moves to Manchester City, Manchester United and Paris Saint Germain, though they report that PSG have ruled themselves out of the running, after sporting director Leonardo told the media that Ronaldo wasn't needed:

"Ronaldo is a Real Madrid player. We don't talk about others teams' players - that's respect. Ibrahimovic is the best striker in the world. So why hire Ronaldo? Zlatan is unique. When we talk about the best players, there is Ronaldo and Messi - but they are not strikers. The best striker, that's Zlatan."
