Cristiano Ronaldo to testify in £12.9m tax fraud case on July 31, meaning he is unlikely to feature in pre-season for Real Madrid.
Any chance Cristiano Ronaldo had of playing for Real Madrid against Barcelona in a friendly in Miami on July 29 looks to have disappeared after he was summoned to court in Madrid on July 31 as part of the investigation into his tax affairs.
Ronaldo is understood to have already told Portugal team-mates he will not play for Madrid again but even if he wants to run out in the Hard Rock stadium in the first ever Clasico in the USA he may now not be able to do so.
Spanish news website El Confidencial reported on Tuesday that they player will attend court in Pozuelo as part of the investigation just 30 hours after the scheduled friendly.
