Real Madrid are said to be offering £80m for Ronaldo of Manchester United. If the offer is true it seems irresistable. Noticed that one reporter said Real Madrid havn’t confirmed the figure. Ronaldo is a great player that brightens up the Premier League. His value to his club must be immense in terms of public relations. Put into perspective if Berbatov is worth £30m and Tevez £25m then Ronaldo must be worth over £50m as a player and his publicity rights must be worth millions a year. On the other hand his salary is immense as well.
EUFA seem to think the Premier League is cheating by getting foreign investors but it’s interesting how the 2 top Spanish clubs are funded as they have some kind of government arrangement that seems to give them a bottomless wallet.
Interesting that PNE, who are the 24th best English team, couldn’t pay Ronaldo’s wages if they sold the whole team.
