Man City plan world-record bid for Ronaldo

By Neil McLeman - EXCLUSIVE

Manchester City are ready to smash the world transfer record to bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to the Premier League.

Roberto Mancini's men joined European football's elite last week by qualifying for the Champions League for the first time.

Now City want the Portuguese superstar to spearhead their bid to win the trophy next season.

Ronaldo, 26, moved to Real Madrid from Manchester United in a record £80million move in 2009 and signed a six-year contract worth over £100m.

Under Jose Mourinho this season, he has equalled the goals record in a La Liga campaign - 38 - and still has a game to go.

The Spanish giants have inserted a US$1billion buyout clause in his contract to protect their prize asset.

Mancini said after City's FA Cup Final triumph on Saturday that he wanted players of proven Champions League experience to take the club to the next level.

Ronaldo would also prove a high-profile replacement for another ex-Manchester United star, Carlos Tevez, should the Argentine decide to leave .

Earlier this month, Spurs boss Harry Redknapp said of City: "They're probably going to spend another £200million this summer.

"They tell me they've got one or two players signed already who'll blow your brains out. They're not going to stop until they win the championship, then the Champions League, and I can see them doing it."

Despite complaining about Mourinho's negative tactics during the Champions League semi-final defeat to Barcelona, Ronaldo has enjoyed a super season in Madrid.

He has scored five goals in his last two games to take his total in all competitions to 51 this season, including the winner in the Copa del Rey final, to overtake Ferenc Puskas' record.

Ronaldo can set a new La Liga record by scoring against relegated Almeria this weekend.

"He is a decisive and influential player," said Real captain Iker Casillas. "Very few are capable of putting up the numbers he has. There are no more team titles that we can win this year, but we can help him win an individual award.

"We feel it is important for him to win an award when he is so deserving of it. He is one of the best players in the world."

He's not exactly happy at Madrid but he won't leave them, he likes the climate over there.

 

[Devil may care]

No HP.

I doubt Ronnie would go there, he knows it would be a huge drop in prestige from where he has been for the bulk of his career.

Why on Earth would Real let him go? He's raking them millions in revenue.

Oh aye, and he's scored a few goals for them too, don't forget that!

Get fecked - you shouldnt even post these bollocks rumours up here.

 

[championo]

You guys sound as if you really know what motivates Ronaldo. I am not sure, but I doubt it is really trophies, I think he just wants to set records, be the world best. If City want to pay 300mil for his transfer fee, he would be interested just to make the history.

 

[beardsleybob]

They took the Redknapp story and some Casillas quotes and made this garbage?

Unbelievable

 

[Ramshock]

Why would that even be a consideration? He already owns the record

Huh?

I'm posting it to show the ridiculousness of it for a giggle, do one you knob.

There is so much bullshit in that article it actually hurts. I genuinely wonder how these 'journalists' get paid to write such crap, even worse that the newspapers publish it.

you aren't going to win balon d'ors playing for fecking city.

barca, milan/juve, madrid, bayern, and us is what europe gets their awards out for.

I think ronaldo is motivated to be individual worlds best player and prestige.

He won't fecking go to city because there is no prestige in playing for them.

 

[SharkyMcShark]

I doubt he'd go there

I particularly like the 'EXCLUSIVE' bit like the writer truly believes what he's saying.

 

[Allforone]

Ronaldo wont ever join a small club.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

*yawn*

So unimaginative

 

[kleberson_]

He would never join City tbh, he loves United to much.

 

[Raoul]

Ridiculous thread, even by transfer forum standards.

"They tell me they've got one or two players signed already who'll blow your brains out...."

So they've signed Nile Ranger and Ashley Cole. Whoop-de-doo.
