Ronaldo to Real Madrid, come on, we’ll give you £220,000 a week
26 May 08 by Bill
With Euro 2008 just around the corner, the chances of this Cristiano Ronaldo/Real Madrid saga being sorted in the next couple of weeks are slim to say the least. That wont stop the press, pundits or ‘family friends’ talking about it and it certainly wont shut Real Madrid up.
The Spanish media is full of this story at the moment and what is perhaps more disturbing, the Portuguese media are running the story and claim that Ronaldo is ready to leave. Many journalists in Portugal believe that Cristiano has completed his training at Old Trafford, reached the pinnacle of his career and basically ‘achieved it all’ at Manchester United. He has won the Premiership more than once and after the Champions League final victory in Moscow, what else is there?
Ronaldo has always insisted it is a dream of his to play in Spain but also recently said “not all dreams come true”. What is for certain is that Ronaldo will make his decision AFTER the Euros. If you need some positive news, Ronaldo is recently quoted as saying his club will be happy with the decision he makes. The killer question now has to be does he mean happy he’s staying or happy financially? I seriously hope the former!
According to Sky Sports News, Real Madrid are prepared to make Ronaldo the highest paid payer at the club (and in the world) with weekly wages in excess of £220,000 which dwarfs the measly £120,000 a week he is getting now. I know footballers have a relatively short career and like to earn as much as they can, but surely once you hit the £5 million a year mark, money becomes irrelevant? I believe Cristiano Ronaldo is a football player who loves playing football and I don’t think the money will be a factor in his decision to move.
One thing is clear, if Ronaldo does decide to stay, we will be going through this sage every year until he leaves.

He’s a greedy bastard, I bet he goes
Thanks for your input but I am sure it wont be the money that pursuades him to go. He is already earning a fair chunk each week, he’ll probably get more after this though…..
He probably goes…
