With the upcoming extension of his contract with Real Madrid, sports experts point out his absence in the Rio Olympics could be because of Cristiano Ronaldo Salary issues. After a decade of success, the 28-year-old Brazilian global is raring to go again with the sole focus of winning another trophy for the club he calls home.
While he has not stated the reason, this could be because the start of the La Liga campaign next season is expected to start on the same weekend as the end of the Olympic football tournament.
Furthermore, 20-year-old Marco Asensio breaking into Zidane’s first team puts the future of Rodriguez and fellow teammate Isco in doubt, with a midfield rivalry starting to brew at the Bernabeu.
Speaking during the club’s USA pre-season tour Matic said: “What he said gave me a special feeling”. That happens wherever we go. Hopefully we can have a good season. “We will make decisions”.
Marcelo: I have known Casemiro for a very long time and in those years he has gained a lot of experience. “It is hard to reject a club like Real, although you still have to think carefully to make the best decision possible”.
What is Zinédine Zidane like as coach?
“Since the beginning of my career, I didn’t have the opportunity to play Champions League matches and I have a real desire to discover this competition”.
“[Zinedine Zidane] is a great person who really understands the players”. He’s a winning coach.
“He’s getting stronger and he’s trained with us”. But the thing that has surprised me most is how calm he is when he explains things.

“Knowing the policy of the Real Madrid current president, who is always willing to pay any amount of money to sign players, and knowing that Zidane also wanted him there are two reasons if he finally does not come”. The exact length of the deal is still undisclosed but Ronaldo is said to be set to earn the same salary of €21 million net per season he had been receiving from Real at the moment.
