The complaint was quickly followed by reports that Ronaldo has chose to leave Madrid ahead of next season following his tax problems, but Perez is adamant the prolific forward will only be on the move for a huge transfer fee.
According to Sky Sports News (h/t James Cambridge of the Express), former Real president Ramon Calderon has "cast a major doubt" over the player's return to Old Trafford after questioning Ronaldo's relationship with United manager Jose Mourinho.
"We tried for him to come, but we saw at one point that it was not possible and we withdrew (from the deal)", Perez told Spanish radio station Onda Cero.
"I know Cristiano, he's a good guy as a professional and as a person", he continued. "This is all very odd, I will have to speak with him to see what's going on". We have not had an offer for Cristiano. the Sheikh at PSG is a friend of mine and he hasn't called me nor have we talked. What I will say is that everyone must fulfil their tax obligations.
"I have always said I have great affection for Cristiano". I can not tell you.
Ronaldo has been accused by prosecutors of defrauding Spanish tax authorities out of €14.7million, some $16.4 million, an allegation that he strenuously has denied.
