Cristiano Ronaldo wants to move back to England

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo

London, Aug 6: The transfer window never fails to entertain us and this window has hardly been an exception so far. Rather, this summer, we are experiencing a transfer window which has indeed shook the whole of Europe.

Neymar became the most expensive player in the world by a formidable range with his move to PSG from Barcelona and we could witness further surprises during the remainder of the window.

Cristiano Ronaldo has sensationally told a Spanish court that he wants to return to England, just days before his Real Madrid team take on former side Manchester United in the much-awaited UEFA Super Cup.

Ronaldo was in court this week as part of the investigation into his alleged £13.25m tax fraud, and extracts from the session have been released by Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.

One of the excerpts includes the Portuguese forward reportedly saying to the judge: "I never had a problem in England... that's why I would like to go back to England."

Speculations about Ronaldo wishing to leave Madrid began to circulate in June when he reacted furiously to the original tax evasion allegations.

Ronaldo's frustration was such that the Portuguese newspaper A Bola reported that he had made an "irreversible" decision to leave Real.

A return to Old Trafford was thought to be his most likely result, but United manager Jose Mourinho branded any deal for his compatriot as "mission impossible" last month and signed Romelu Lukaku for £75m instead.

Now though it appears that the switch could be back on, with Ronaldo seemingly keen on going back to the country where he spent six hugely successful years between 2003 and 2009.

However, Zidane has made it clear that Ronaldo remains the central figure of his plans at Santiago Bernabeu and the Los Blancos will do whatever in their powers to keep their star man.
