Reports linking Champions League victor Cristiano Ronaldo with a possible move to Bayern Munich if the Portuguese made a decision to leave Real Madrid were a hoax, the German champions said on Monday.
Recent rumours suggest that Ronaldo wants to leave Los Blancos as he apparently believes the club failed to adequately support him after it was revealed that he has been accused of tax fraud. "It is sent and printed, tweaked and posted".
Ronaldo is said to want to quit Real and leave Spain over what he feels is unfair treatment by Spanish tax authorities. With digital technology the news is spread at a rapid pace.
Portuguese newspapers have listed Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Monaco among the potential suitors for the Portugal captain and that they might table an offer of 180 million euros ($201 million).
"That is why at this point we would like to pay tribute to the "duck of the day" and thus help to ensure that our fans are properly informed".

Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport reported at the weekend that Bayern were interested in signing Ronaldo, 32, from Madrid.
"Subsequently, this rumour was also taken up by numerous German media".
"Normally we don't comment on rumours, but in this case, we would like to make our position on Cristiano Ronaldo absolutely clear: This rumour is completely unfounded and must be consigned to the realms of fantasy".
Ronaldo's future became uncertain following the allegations last week.
You suspect that Bayern wouldn't have needed to make an official statement if the supposed object of interest was anybody other than Ronaldo.
