English champions Manchester United have officially announced that they have accepted Real Madrid's record 94 million euro bid for Manchester United attacker Critiano Ronaldo (24).
The official announcement on Manchester United's website goes under the title 'Record Ronaldo bid accepted' and reads as follows:
"Manchester United have received a world-record, unconditional offer of £80million for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid. At Cristiano's request - who has again expressed his desire to leave - and after discussion with the player's representatives, United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player. Matters are expected to be concluded by 30 June. The club will not comment until further notice."
After the signing of AC Milan midfielder Kaká (27) for a presumed transfer fee of 68,5 million euro earlier this week, this is Real Madrid's second high-profile signing of the summer.
pep's opinion:
where are they getting the money with a debt of 500 million euro before this summer and a global crisis? we won't ask. it's sure good for the liga (so also for barcelona's revenues) having the last two fifa world player's of the year playing in spain. i don't think ronaldo and kaka really solve any of the problems madrid has faced last season, but i'm sure it's good for the moral of the fans.
