Reaction like that... pretty incriminating hahaha
The reaction is normal, because the tale is total bullshit, and the matter is not to be taken lightly. It is very serious what they have accused Real Madrid of doing.
It is unthinkable that the club , even in the case of knowing what was happening, pressed CR7 to close a deal and to pay. Someone that thinks otherwise are simply not thinking very clearly. If you do something like that to an innocent man, you would have lost him forever. You would align yourself with the person blackmailing him, and against your player, interfering in a private matter that should not be your concern until the player was declared guilty or the amount of evidence was imposible to overlook. And even in that case you would NEVER urge him to pay, but you would decide to take whatever disciplinary actions were estimated necessary.
That rumor is pure crap, but you know, there are some people that think this has started now because he is nor longer in Madrid, or even that Florentino himself put the thing in motion. Those are not rational thoughts, but the product of mindless frustration.
I´m happy that my club had made that statement and put a stop to it so quick.
