Real Madrid to try to sign Cristiano Ronaldo
MADRID - Spanish champions Real Madrid are prepared to pay up to 70 million
euros (102.59 million dollars) for Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo.
This is the front-page claim made on Saturday by sports daily AS.
The Portuguese star is under contract at Old Trafford until 2012, but AS claims
that Cristiano Ronaldo could buy up his contract for 70 million euros, a sum that
Real president Ramon Calderon is prepared to pay to lure him to Madrid.
AS claims that Cristiano Ronaldo has insisted on this ‘buy-out clause’ in his
contract because his is ‘so enthusiastic’ about playing for Real one day, and
quotes the 23 year-old winger as saying that ‘I would love to play in Spain.’
The report claims that Calderon is keen to liven up Bernd Schuster’s hard-working
team - which is seven points clear at the top of La Liga - with a ‘media star’, and
is now resigned to the fact that AC Milan will not sell Kaka, the player he
promised to the fans in the 2006 presidential elections at Real.
