RONALDO DEAL ON JULY 7? £80MILLION TO BE PAID??
Wednesday, October 22, 2008 at 9:10 pm under Sports News RONALDO DEAL ON JULY 7? £80MILLION TO BE PAID??
Real Madrid might be unwilling to pay £80m but they have apparently earmarked a date for Ronaldo’s unveiling – July 7.
That is the date revealed by Marca as Real’s own deadline for the deal’s completion, despite having failed to open the bidding for the Portuguese forward.
Ronaldo has now gone on holiday for a few days while ManYoo boss Sir Alex Ferguson is also unavailable and has apparently left instructions for any bids to be rebuffed in his absence.
Real Madrid preseident Ramon Calderon has dismissed suggestions the Spanish champions would be willing to spend £80million on Ronaldo.
Speculation has been rife that Madrid would smash their own world-record transfer fee – set when they splashed £46million on Zinedine Zidane in 2001 – by offering Manchester United in the region of 100million euros for Ronaldo if the Red Devils decided to cash in on their prize asset.
However, speaking just days after Madrid coach Bernd Schuster urged the club to “pay what is necessary” to take Ronaldo to the Bernabeu, Calderon insists they will not break the bank for any player.
When asked about Ronaldo, Calderon said in remarks reported by Marca: “There is no ‘Cristiano Ronaldo case’ because Manchester (United) do not want to sell.
“In any case, Real Madrid will never pay 100million euros for anybody.”
United, who recently reported the Primera Liga champions to FIFA over what they considered to be attempts to unsettle the player, have stated that the Portugal international is not for sale.
