75M RONALDO TO JOIN MADRID - REPORTS


75M RONALDO TO JOIN MADRID - REPORTS

Cristiano Ronaldo will move to Real Madrid in a ฃ75m summer deal, according to two of Britain's leading newspapers.

According to both The Guardian and The Daily Mail, Madrid are now confident that Ronaldo will move to the Bernabeu at the end of the season.

'Real Madrid have put in place a deal with Cristiano Ronaldo's advisers that will see him leave Manchester United this summer if the world footballer of the year gets his way. Ronaldo remains determined to move to the Bernab้u and it is understood his salary and contractual terms have already been determined as part of a planned world-record ฃ75m transfer,' reports The Guardian.

'Ronaldo's representatives have held extensive talks with Madrid and, according to informed sources, categorically informed the Spanish club last September that he had no intention of remaining in Manchester beyond the end of the current season. It is understood that various pledges were made to ensure the deal happens and that everyone involved in the negotiations made a pact not to discuss the agreement in public.'

A concurring Mail - which, naturally, also claims the story of Ronaldo's expected departure as an exclusive - adds that 'Madrid's proposed deal includes a ฃ75m transfer fee - to include a down-payment of more than ฃ50m - and wages in excess of ฃ200,000-a-week for Ronaldo. They believe this is now acceptable to United and to the player.'
