Florentino Perez:"We didn't want to sell him"

Ream Madrid president insists they got a good deal for a player they did not actually want to sell.
Florentino Perez has revealed Real Madrid did not want to sell Cristiano Ronaldo but had to "open the door" for his departure after the player asked to leave.
"The release clauses are not there to be paid. If there has to be sale, it is negotiated," he said. "We did not want to sell him, but he wanted to go for personal reasons and we understood that, for all the good things he had done, we had to open the door for him. We got the highest value we could."
Ronaldo completed a €100 million (£89m/$117m) transfer from Champions League winners to Juventus. The Portuguese forward won the Champions League four times and La Liga twice, while he is also Los Blancos' all-time leading goal-scorer.
