“I want to play for Real Madrid, but only if it is true they are eager to pay me and Manchester United what they have been saying they will,” said Ronaldo. “However, it does not depend on me. It is important to send a message.” This is what Ronaldo had to say from Portugal’s training base in Switzerland.

He is either incredibly intelligent or incredibly stupid. Allow me to explain. Ronaldo is well aware of where Sir Alex and Glazers stand on this matter, This is what Sir Alex had to say last week, “Their [the Glazers] attitude is, ‘To hell with them’. They’d sit a player in the stand, I’m telling you, absolutely no doubt about it, just to prove a point. Not to give in to these people.” Unless there is something Ronaldo and United are not saying, it was incredibly stupid for Ronaldo to say what he did.
On the other hand if he does land this monumental deal, he would make history. He would insure his life, the life of his children, the life of his children’s children, etc. You cant blame him for looking out for his best interest.

And really, would YOU turn down a £100 million offer, and a chance to play at one of the most prestigious  clubs?
