United accept Ronaldo offer

<h1 class="main-headline">United accept Ronaldo offer</h1>

Manchester United have confirmed they have accepted a bid from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo's future at United has been the subject of constant speculation, with Real having trailed his signature for the last three summers.

Real president Florentino Perez has made no secret of the fact that he would like to lure Ronaldo to El Santiago Bernabeu.

The Spanish titans have now agreed an £80million offer for the Portuguese ace and United have given the World Player of the Year permission to talk to the capital club.

Ronaldo will head to the Spanish capital to hold discussions with Real and undergo a medical.

Real have already snapped up Brazilian superstar Kaka in a world-record deal, but a move for Ronaldo would significantly eclipse that figure.

"Manchester United have received a world-record, unconditional offer of £80million for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid," read a club statement.

"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 30th June. The club will not comment until further notice."

Unbelievable. I have to be honest i didn't think United would let him go. Madrid are going nuts this summer, if they get Villa as well then that is going to be one hell of an attack! The should really be looking for some defensive options as well though.

Crazy money and Real madrid will probably be trophyless again next term

A lot of this cash will go to the bank. The money borrowed by the Glazers to buy United was £550 million odd. Interest on these loans meant ManUtd actually made a loss of £27 million last year. All this talk of them being a rich club is built on sand...

[EskWeston 696]

Man Utd will be considerably weaker now after this sale. Even though they will most certainly go out and buy a big name player they still will be a weaker side. It doesn't look like Madrid's spending will stop there either, £40m+ for David Villa next in line and then who knows who else.....

Real Madrid have turned this transfer window on it's head with the money that has been put out. So much money being talked about for so many players, and potentially a lot more very big signings in the pipeline form various clubs..

I cant wait to hear what Platini will come out with. He's spent the last 2 seasons spouting shit about the EPL big guns throwing their financial weight about and it was bad for the game.

What Madrid have done in a couple of days has blown anything the EPL sides have done right out of the water.

I hope they win fuck all

[Badboy 1,526]

I am so happy i can see the glazers balancing the books with 60 million and giving red nose 20 million.

Gutted for Kaka, he only held the record for a day.

£8 million for the Riverdance pouf for doing sweet fuck all -not that he needs it

FUCK RIGHT OFF RONALDO

[Fulham Broadway 16,410]

Agree with that.

Madrid are still going to ship goals at the back -cant wait for Barca to beat them. And what about all those cnuts who bought duvet covers, lampshades and ManUtd pants with his face on.

Lol.

Madrid would be very stupid indeed after securing Ronaldo and Villa to not get some very reliable defenders.

They're so short sighted they probably havent thought of that one yet

Your probably right. Having good defenders has never been Madrid's strong point. And they even underestimated the lynchpin of their last "Galactico" era - Makelele.....

But that is one hell of an attack they will have for next season: Kaka, Ronaldo and Villa
