Cristiano Ronaldo's decision to sell his image rights to a company owned by Valencia president Peter Lim
suggests that the forward is set to leave Real Madrid, says Iker Casillas 'agent Santos Marquez.
Ronaldo is under contract until 2018 but raised
eyebrows on June 29 when he announced that he
had signed a deal with Mint Media.
Marquez believes that the agreement is a sign
that the Portugal international is dissatisfied with
club president Florentino Perez and is now
preparing his Madrid exit.

"One day [Perez] will need to explain why
Cristiano works for another company outside of
Real Madrid," the agent told AS.
"Imagine Cristiano generating €40 million
elsewhere and giving it to Peter Lim, Valencia’s
owner. It ends up in Valencia’s coffers and that’s
deplorable.
"Will anyone speak out and ask Florentino why
Cristiano has sold his image rights to Peter Lim?
"That’s not normal; it suggests that Cristiano is
planning to leave."
Academy product Casillas was left alone at a
press conference at the Santiago Bernabeu last
Sunday as he brought the curtain down on a 25-
year association with Los Blancos by announcing
his decision to join Porto.
After being heavily criticised for his absence,
Perez organised a hastily arranged send-off
ceremony the following day and stated during the
proceedings that it had been Casillas' desire to
depart.
However, Marquez has accused the Blancos
supremo of spinning a web of lies in relation to
the manner of his client's exit.
"Iker never wanted to leave," he said.
"He said that he never wanted to leave and that
he could never ask to be Madrid’s first choice
goalkeeper, that he had two years left on his
contract and that he would have liked to end his
playing career at Madrid.
"He was happy and Madrid is his home but they
didn’t want him.
"Three weeks ago [new coach Rafa] Benitez came
along and the club started going crazy about
signing [Manchester United No.1 David] De Gea
and said what a great goalkeeper Keylor [Navas]
is.
"That was a lack of respect towards Iker. He
couldn’t ignore it. There is a before and an after
to all of this. Benitez is not to blame; it was all
orchestrated.
"[Perez] hasn’t uttered one single truth in years.
What he says is his truth, and that is the same
as preaching.
"He kicked out the best people he has ever
known. Everyone must realise that. It all turned
ugly for [Fernando] Hierro, Raul, [Vicente] Del
Bosque.

"There’s something not right about that. It’s as
though everyone at this club is wrong and he
never is.
"Madrid was always characterised as being a club
which was owned by its club members but he
has turned it into a serfdom.
"Those statutes he put in so that he can
perpetually be president.
"He’s set it all up so that the others are slaves
and cannot act as the club members. They have
to shut up and pay up.
"Florentino will eventually have to leave Madrid
as a result of the Casillas saga. I don’t know
when that will happen but it will."
