The want-away Real Madrid forward has the unwavering support of his international coach with Portugal after being accused of breaking tax rules
Portugal coach Fernando Santos says he trusts Cristiano Ronaldo "100 per cent as an athlete and a man" after the Real Madrid star was accused of defrauding Spanish tax authorities.
Prosecutors in Madrid have filed a complaint to a court in Pozuelo de Alarcon in which they accuse the Real Madrid star of a "voluntary" and "conscious" breach of his tax obligations, totalling €14.7million.
The situation has led to claims Ronaldo wants to leave the European champions, potentially prompting a scramble for his signature from the world's biggest clubs.
