Real Madrid will pay 'whatever it takes' for Cristiano Ronaldo

International Football News

Real Madrid are prepared to smash the world transfer record with an £80 million bid for Cristiano Ronaldo after the Spanish club's manager, Bernd Schuster, said they would "pay whatever it takes" to lure the Portuguese winger from Old Trafford. With the Spanish champions also offering to pay Ronaldo £182,000-a-week after tax, the potential deal is nearly double what is currently the biggest transfer in football history which occured when Zinedine Zidane joined Madrid from Juventus for £46 million in 2001. With Ronaldo having announced his "dream" of joining Madrid, the club expect the 23-year-old to force United's hand over the sale, or put in a transfer request. Madrid may offer a cash-plus-player deal involving Wesley Sneijder or Robinho.
Ronaldo's future continues to dominate the media, with former France talisman Zidane quoted in several newspapers as saying he expects to lose his tag as the most expensive player of all time if the Spanish giants get their man.

Cristiano Ronaldo admitted that he is looking to leave Manchester United for Real Madrid

International Football News

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo last night all but admitted that he is looking to leave the European champions for Real Madrid. The 23-year-old finally broke his silence about his club future after Portugal's 3-2 defeat to Germany in the quarter-finals of Euro 2008. "In two or three days' time I will announce my future because the tournament is over for me," he said in Portuguese after the game. "I will speak to Manchester United. I will try to reach an agreement and we will see." "In the coming days there might be news," Ronaldo added. "The possibilities are great, but it does not depend on me.
"I think there is a specific proposal, let's see if we reach agreement in the coming days." Though when asked if he had made a decision regarding a move to Real Madrid, he replied: "No, not yet."
Ronaldo dominates the newspapers today, although The Sun does claim Dutch international Rafael van der Vaart has told United and Chelsea to call off transfer talks until Holland’s Euro 2008 campaign has finished.
“Everybody knows I am willing to consider a move,” van der Vaart said, “but my main focus is purely on the national team.”

UEFA instead of a real better times a virtual European Championship organize

International Football News

Now, the disciplinary Commissioners UEFA Joachim Loew and Josef Hickersberger because of the events in the coaching zone at the last game of the Euro Group B also effectively blocked for a lot. This judgment only confirmed my prejudice that the gentlemen functionaries of two things understand much more than the football.
This condemnation (which actually debt) was without any sure instinct like. Slightly more sense for the specificity of the situation would have been appropriate. But obviously the dream of an aseptic officials football world without emotions easily. Because feelings are not to control and possibly the running at full speed marketing machinery of the UEFA into stuttering might bring. That would be even more beautiful that sponsors disgusted disgusted with threatened termination of their contracts because they promised beautiful ideal football world get scratches.
Long live sports - but only the germ: Perhaps the UEFA instead of a real better times a virtual European Championship organize. Then, the officials their regulatory Searches for more hearts and steam every mouse click from the screen to eliminate that is not in their world view fits. You need not even sure instinct - not more than one for the keyboard.
