CRISTIANO Ronaldo and Manchester United have both signed agreements with Real Madrid regarding the Portuguese winger’s transfer to the Spanish side, a newspaper reported yesterday.
Under the agreements, Manchester will let the 2008 FIFA World Footballer of the Year go after July for a minimum of 80 million euros (109 million dollars), top-selling newspaper El Pais reported.
Former Real president Florentino Perez, who is expected to announce on Thursday that he will stand in elections to head the club again, has already discussed the payment of the amount with Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes, it added.
But Perez may ultimately decide instead to recruit AC Milan’s Brazilian playmaker Kaka as ‘he is less expensive and this would allow him to recruit more players’, the newspaper added.
