Cristiano Ronaldo

:lol: Relly

Marca:

"I have not spoken with anyone yet, and the most important thing is the team," Ronaldo told reporters Christiano insisted that his priority is Portugal, with whom he played on Friday in a 1-0 win against Russia.
 
He could have at least added an "Only god knows" ffs.
 
Sun saying he's after 17mil a year from Madrid. I'm also mentioned in the report, a sure sign we're signing him.
CRISTIANO RONALDO is demanding a staggering £32million-a-year deal to stop him from returning to Manchester United.

Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo is considering his options at the Bernabeu and knows United will welcome him back with open arms.
The Spanish giants are adamant that Ronaldo will not be leaving them this summer and are now trying to agree a deal to keep their Portuguese idol for the rest of his career.
But Ronaldo, 28, is determined to cash in on his iconic status and is looking for a mega deal to make him the highest-paid footballer in history.
First up he wants an annual wage of £17m from Madrid, which works out at about £345,000 per week.
But he is also demanding 100 per cent of his image rights contract from the club, which could be worth as much as £15m per year.
Even a club as rich as Real Madrid have been shocked by the figures being bandied around by Ronaldo’s representatives.
And they are hoping they are just the player’s opening gambit in what could be long, complicated contract negotiations. Ronaldo, who cost Real a world record £80m when they signed him from United in 2009, still has two years of his current £200,000-a-week contract to run at the Bernabeu.
So president Florentino Perez believes there is plenty of time to haggle over a new deal before they seriously have to think about selling their brightest star.
But sources close to Ronaldo have indicated the player’s demands are not motivated by greed but his determination to prove himself to be the biggest star in the world.
Ronaldo is aware Barcelona rival Lionel Messi currently gets £14m a year and already has a 100 per cent image rights agreement with his club.
And he is determined to top that. But even Real, the richest club in the world, are unlikely to agree to those terms and will look to strike a compromise deal with a player who has scored 201 goals in four seasons at the Bernabeu.
United still refuse to rule out the prospect of tempting Ronaldo back to the Premier League but would have to smash their wage structure to even come close to matching his terms.

If Ronaldo gets his image rights back, Real are in trouble. If all players demand that, Real's revenue will drop significantly. These deals made the first galactico era possible and the financial stability of the club is built on them, if I'm not mistaken. I don't think there will be a quick solution if Ronaldo persists on getting them back.

So despite it being the sun this report seems to be doing the rounds quite a bit this morning now with people claiming he is trying to price himself out of Madrid.
 
I never understood why a club had the right to a player's image anyway. It's madness, unless I'm mistaking what it means.
 
There's not a sniff of a hope of him ever coming back here. He's playing hard ball with Real who will eventually cave into his demands...We can't afford him anyways...350,000 wages a week....and an 80 million transfer fee....it's never in a million years going to happen...we would be very lucky if we got Fabregas instead

I agree. Forget about this nonsense. Either Perez will give him what he want's or he will play down his contract to create a bidding war. Imagine him without contract next year, then the fun starts.
 
I admit I am stirring it a bit but at the same time I dont know why people are so convinced it could never ever happen. We all know what kind of a diva he can be at times and if he is going to keep putting his foot down and refuse to sign on the dotted line then the time for Real to cash in on him and invest elsewhere is now because a year down the line they wont be looking at getting offered anything even remotely close to what they spent on him.

Do I think he will come back to United? Maybe not but is it impossible that he could be sold? Definitely not.

Either way, #believe
 
I think this deal will happen, I honestly do. :lol:

Why is it madness?

Why do Nike have the rights to all revenue made from selling our kits? Because we have a contract that stipulates that they pay us a fee and in return they get to receive the revenue from all our our shirts they sell.

Similarly, Ronaldo and other Galacticos sign for Madrid on huge wages for huge fees and as a result they hand over their image rights. It's a contract, it's not madness.

So basically Ronaldo's main complaints aren't the core wages he's being paid, but rather the % of image rights he's getting?

Well, yeh, obviously I understand that it's part of the contract and the players don't have a choice, I just think it's a very odd thing for a club to own... the "rights" to its players images. I mean, my image is me, it's who I am, I can't imagine ever letting someone else make money off that to the extent that if my face gets plastered all over a product they earn the money, not me. But then again no one has offered my £300,000 a week for that deal!

I've no idea, I was only replying directly to what Orduck said. If that is the case then it's a massive problem for Madrid as it sets a precedent they can't afford.

Ronaldo is their star man, they'd hate to lose him but where does this handing image rights back to players stop then? What if Casillas then decides he should be getting his share? Ozil? Alonso? What about when they sign the next star player? Will the banks loan Madrid the money for it without the future income from image rights? (Probably, it is Real after all.)
 
If Ronaldo is moving anywhere else will he want the same kind of deal that he supposedly gets wants at Real? The highest wages and all his image rights that is criminal and I can't see us signing him on that. Real are in a corner they will lose a lot of revenue if they give in. That is if these are his demands. You can never be sure.
 
I'm not sure where the Guardian quotes came from, I've only seen the Portuguese and Spanish after match interviews, but his comments to them, about his contract renewal with Madrid, were basically: "I don't know, we'll see, I'm not worrying over it."

He also got asked about Mourinho's criticisms. He laughed and said that he had no interest in talking about Mourinho and said that the only thing he was bothered about right now was the Portuguese national team.

I think, the idea behind it is that playing for Real increases the marketing value of the player compared to any other club in the world, so they want to get their share on what he earns with sponsoring deals. I think back with the first galacticos the wages at Real were way higher than in any other club in the world and Perez created a new business model back then which allowed to sign so many superstar players and create a dream team which increased everyone's income that much that it became mutual beneficial. I don't think it's the case anymore. Sugar daddy clubs pay just as much money without taking a share of the player's image rights and the other top clubs' standing isn't far behind Real Madrid anymore. They created a huge global football boom back then which helped everyone else as well, it just took a few years to catch up.
 
We all know in our hearts that he is just using us in his contract negotiations. He will get his mega deal at Madrid.
 
So apparently now Ronaldo has said that he has not asked Madrid for anything which would mean the Guardian article is a load of crap, just like most other articles out there.
 
Well that's that put to bed,time to get back to more realistic signings.

No it just means that all this ridiculous talk of him asking for £300,000 per week is indeed shit.

Its still on though :drool:
 
There's guaranteed for a new story to come our next week saying the ball is in our court, as Ronaldo will say a really vague sentence which the journos will all twist to make into some sort of story, I don't see any of this being resolved until July that's for sure.

I agree, he will sign the contract in July.
 
Come on lads, lets all f.a.p to this article :drool:

http://metro.co.uk/2013/06/08/crist...dont-know-if-ill-stay-at-real-madrid-3833337/

Cristiano Ronaldo has opened the door on a move to Manchester United by admitting he is unsure if he’ll stay at Real Madrid.
Ronaldo has emerged as a key target for former club United, with new manager David Moyes desperate to make a big statement in the summer transfer window.
And despite Madrid admitting they are hopeful he’ll stay and sign a new contract, Ronaldo says his future at the Bernabeu is far from certain.
I don’t know,’ said Ronaldo when asked if he’ll stay.
‘We’ll see. The most important thing right now is the Portugal national team.’

The 28-year-old’s current contract is due to expire in 2015, and it’s thought he has already snubbed one offer of an extension that would take him up to the end of his career.
United know they will struggle to force a transfer, but believe Ronaldo could put pressure on Madrid to sell if he continues to turn down renewal offers.
Reports in Spain claim the attacker will only sign a new deal if he is offered a whopping £32million-a-year – making him the highest paid footballer in history.

I don't know how much further I can go with you on this one Sparky, My muppet powers are drained and I don't think I can take the Ronaldo saga any longer. Stay strong.
