CRISTIANO RONALDO is “disillusioned” with Real Madrid’s attempts to sign Neymar, according to reports.

And according to AS, the 33-year-old views Los Blancos’ bid to renew their squad with “suspicion and disbelief.”

Ronaldo had a quiet final this year in Kiev, as Gareth Bale stole the show, scoring two including an incredible bicycle kick that will go down in football folklore.

He said after the final: “Each September, 50 players will come and in the end, none come.

“The best ones are already at Real Madrid: Bale, Benzema, Asensio, Lucas Vazquez, etc.”

Ronaldo is also keenly aware that he is paid less than Neymar, and reportedly wants a staggering £1.35m-per-week deal.

There has been further upheaval at the Bernabeu with the exit of Zinedine Zidane last week.

The former Manchester United forward also has the threat of a £24million tax bill hanging over his head, an issue over which he has protested his innocence.

One thing is for sure, there does not appear to be room enough for two egos the size of theirs, even at the biggest club in the world.
