Real can have Ronaldo for £75m

IS RONALDO REALLY WORTH £75 MILLION ?

CRISTIANO Ronaldo is now valued at an astonishing £75million by Manchester United, who have already had an approach from Real Madrid for the January transfer window.
That figure would eclipse the previous world-record fee of £49m that Real paid for Zinedine Zidane in 2001.
A leading agent told me last night: “A few days ago, as the transfer window opened, Real Madrid made it plain they would pay 60m euros (£44.3m), but Manchester United’s response was emphatic.
“They told Real not to come back with anything less than 100m euros (£73.9m) – and even then there is no guarantee that they would would take it.”
Whether the initial ‘offer’ and the reply came from agents rather than directly from the clubs is debatable. But there is no doubt Real want Ronaldo – badly enough to break the record fee.
But Sir Alex Ferguson would not entertain losing Ronaldo – either now, or in the summer when Real are sure to come back with a renewed bid if their January probings fail.
The wealthiest club in the world may balk at more than £70m for Ronaldo, but it is certain they are ready to offer in excess of £50m for the Portuguese wonder boy, as their first approach is merely an opening gambit.
