Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has called a press briefing scheduled for today evening to address key issues concerning the club. There have been rumours circulating in some sections of Spanish media regarding the future of coach Rafael Benitez and the future of key players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale. Ronaldo has been linked with a possible move to French giants Paris Saint-Germain and his former club Manchester United. On the other hand, Bale has been linked with a possible move to Man United after facing a frustrating, injury-prone season at the Santiago Bernabeu.
During last Saturday’s El Clasico, Ronaldo was booed by a section of Real Madrid fans who believed that the 30-year-old was not anywhere near what he used to be in terms of performance. They instead cheered their rival Andres Iniesta who had a wonderful game and summed it up with a beautiful goal for the Catalans.

Rafael Benitez is rumoured to be on his way out of the Santiago Bernabeu after the humiliating defeat to their rivals. Under the former Liverpool tactician, Los Blancos have scored 26 goals this season, conceded 11, and are currently placed third in La Liga table.
LiveSoccerTV will keep you updated on the details of the press briefing to be held later today at 13:30 EST.
