Cristiano Ronaldo is a Portuguese football player who currently plays for Manchester United. He plays as a left or right winger and is one of the highest rated football stars in the world.

He is also an important player in the Portuguese National team having scored 18 goals by the age of 22. This season Ronaldo has broken records with the huge amount of goals he has scored for Manchester United.

Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has urged Manchester United to open formal negotiations with the Spanish outfit, to resolve the future of Cristiano Ronaldo.

In what seems like a desperate attempt to change Manchester’s stance, the Real supremo has gone on record to say that Manchester should be “happy” to be involved in such a magnitude of an event or the “transfer of the century” as he calls it.

But on the face of it Manchester are firm in their stance that Real will not have their wish come true. It has to be admired, the way they have remained resolute despite Real willing to push the boat out and pay whatever it takes to bring Ronaldo to Spain.

With Ronaldo not making any formal demands from Manchester, it seems he may stay in England.

July 7th was supposed to be the day when superstar Cristiano Ronaldo should have been unveiled as a Real Madrid player. As one could witness, this did not happen. Ronaldo is currently a Red Devil though seeing him leave Old Trafford for Spain is very much a possibility.

Earlier this year, the winger revealed he was driven to be the world’s greatest player but with Portugal’s quarterfinal exit, this dream has been slightly overshadowed. However, despite national team achievements playing a major part in rewards, club football success has a lot of importance too; reigning footballer of the year Kaka won almost all the awards a player could dream of despite not participating in the Copa America.

Consequently, if Ronaldo aims to be named the next Fifa Player of the year 2008, taking a decision over his club future surely is delicate and decisive. In these last few months, he has been criticised by fans in England for wanting to quit Manchester United too soon. Like Eric Cantona, many share the opinion that Ronaldo is just beginning to flourish and that he should wait two or three more years before leaving Manchester.

If Ronaldo stays in the Premiership, he would be competing against Euro 2008 Championship winner Fernando Torres of Liverpool who also intends to win the Fifa Player of the year award. But with success being Ronaldo’s number one aim, going to Spain might just be the right decision. With the country’s national team winning the European Cup and tennis player Nadal winning the Wimbledon title, many suggest that it is Spain’s year of triumph.

Clinching the UEFA Champions League trophy is one of the greatest tasks a player should do to be entitled as the best footballer on earth. And who knows? The cup could be moving from England to Spain come next season and maybe be in the hands of hungry giants Real Madrid.

Therefore going to Spain could be the perfect decision for Ronaldo to be a Galactico redeemer and the world’s best player.

According to reliable spanish radio station Onda Cero, Real Madrid have agreed in “principle” with Manchester United for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to go ahead for a fee in the region of 90 million euros.

If true, it will be the highest transfer fee paid in history to acquire the service of a footballer by a club. It is believed Manchester were holding out for 100 million euros but Real are quietly confident a deal will be conducted in the next few days.

United have fought vigorously to keep a hold of Ronaldo but seem to be coming to terms with having to let him go. Ronaldo meanwhile is to have surgery in the next few days on that injured ankle but will most likely miss the opening game of the premiership season in mid August . If he does sign for Real, it will not be the only game he misses in Manchester’s Premiership campaign.

The latest transfer rumors explain that Real Madrid will do everything to bring Cristiano Ronaldo in their club. It is understood that the Spanish giants will not give up their hunt for the Portuguese player.

Reports claim that Ronaldo will earn 90,000 euros a week should he become a Galactico. This amount will certainly attract Ronaldo and change his mind of remaining at Old Trafford. Real Madrid is said to be his dream club and such a big offer will be difficult to turn down.

Only genuine commitment to his current team Manchester United will help him stay in England.

In these last few weeks, possibilities that Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo would leave Manchester United for Real were very high. With Ronaldo buying a house in Madrid, most people thought Alex Ferguson had lost the war.

But these suggestions prove to be untrue as Ronaldo has done probably the “biggest u-turn” of this summer transfer issues: Cristiano will remain at Old Trafford next season.

However, money has certainly played a great part in Ronaldo’s decision to stay in England. Last week, Ramon Calderon declared that the Spanish Champions had no intention in signing anyone at a price of 100 million euros.

In the meantime, it has been reported that Manchester United have offered their star winger a jet and a pilot. This explains that if money is the reason why Ronaldo wants to leave, United are rich enough to provide the young man with everything he wishes in order for him to remain in the club.

Whichever is the real cause why Ronaldo will not be joining the Spanish giants, the 23 year old superstar has come back to his “father” Alex Ferguson. Ronaldo will be staying in England, where he can be given love and affection like nowhere else as Manchester United’s assistant coach said.

It is amazing how a rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Robinho is so quickly building up. With Real Madrid really wanting to sign the Portuguese star, the transfer deal means that the Spanish giants will sell Robinho as part of it.

It’s obvious to see that this decision has angered the Brazilian who consequently wants to quit Madrid.
Reports claim that Chelsea boss Felipe Scolari wishes Robinho to be part of his team come the start of the season.

Thus, what if Ronaldo finally ends up staying at Man United and what if Robinho moves to Chelsea?
The EPL may surely reach a new level of attraction, as meetings between Chelsea and Manchester will highlight the clash of two talented wingers: the Blue Brazilian Devil Robinho versus the Red Rocket Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo has an injury to his ankle that requires an operation, according to Manchester United officials. This may hinder an already complicated transfer battle between Manchester and Real Madrid, as it will probably mean he will not feature in the beginning of the forthcoming season.

Is this not just perfect timing from Manchester’s point of view, a convenient story from Old Trafford or a desperate attempt to keep hold the best thing since George Best? But will it deter Real- will anything deter Real, from securing a deal for this injured player?

Which ever way it is looked at, history suggests when Real are ‘willing’ they are ‘able’, take Cristiano’s namesake from Brazil, they tracked him and eventually signed him despite being injured in the summer of 2002. Intriguing to say the least.

Cristiano Ronaldo has failed to make the 23 man squad announced by UEFA, to be considered the best at this years international tournament.

The talented forward has won everything in sight in English football last season and was quite rightly the talk of the tournament leading up to Euro 2008.

Even during the tournament, Portugal performed well in the group stages with Ronaldo featuring quite significantly. However defeat to Germany in the quarter finals spelt the end of Portugal’s and indeed Ronaldo’s involvement. It seems this is the reason he has been overlooked by UEFA, the fact that Portugal did not reach the semi-finals.

But as far as the best 23 players at Euro 2008, one cannot believe that he has failed to make the cut. In fact most would agree it is an astonishing oversight by UEFA.

The young Brazilian forward Robinho is reportedly upset with Real Madrid and their apparent willingness to make him part of a deal to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to Madrid.

Robinho’s agent Vagner Rebeiro is quoted as saying that neither him or Robinho like the fact that he is being used as a “bargaining chip”, claiming the player has been “devalued” as a result. Robinho’s ability on the field of play, according to his agent “ is better than or equal to Ronaldo”. However it seems Real do not have that same opinion.

While they wait around for Ronaldo, Robinho has been in contact through his agent with Chelsea with a view to a possible transfer. Chelsea manager Scolari see’s Robinho as the right player to add that touch of flair that Chelsea owner Mr Abramovic clearly desires next season from his playing staff. Now he probably wishes he could have Ronaldo in his side! But money can’t buy everything.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is still firm in his belief that Cristiano Ronaldo will be at Old Trafford next season.

Ferguson has been disappointed by Ronaldo’s comments regarding his future with Manchester but is keen on keeping his prize asset despite the ongoing speculation that Ronaldo wants to leave.

It has led high ranking officials from Manchester to say that the Real Madrid speculation was nothing but a “seven day wonder” and that all uncertainty regarding a move away from Old Trafford will be forgotten by the time Ronaldo returns for pre-season training next month.

It has been argued across Madrid that the possible capture of Cristiano Ronaldo from Man Utd will be a step back for the Real, in their quest to be European Champions for the tenth time.

For if Real do capture Ronaldo, the funds that will be left to strengthen the rest of the team is an interesting moot point. For it may even mean Madrid sacrificing other quality players such as Sneijder, Ramos or Robinho.

Football is an unpredictable game and this is why it is loved throughout the world. Because even in signing the best player on the planet, nothing is guaranteed. Football is a team game and Madrid may struggle if to get this latest Galactico, they end up without the strength in depth to really challenge the best teams in Europe.

Cristiano Ronaldo has answered to United’s call saying he will be back from his holidays for the club’s pre-season tour. If the player keeps his promise, it’s almost certain that he will stay at Old Trafford next season.

However, though it’s understood that Real Madrid wanted to complete his signing on July 7th (something which wouldn’t be possible if Ronaldo plays for Manchester in the tour), a transfer could still be done in the last moments of the transfer windows.

But would the European Champions let this happen?
It is obvious that the English side would do their best to keep their star; it has been reported that they were ready to increase Ronaldo’s salary should it be a solution to keep him at the club.

On the other side, rumors suggest that the Portuguese winger agreed to remain in his current team because of Real Madrid’s attitude regarding his value in terms of payment. Earlier in the week, President Ramon Calderon dismissed claims that his club would splash 100 million euros to get the superstar as he declared that no footballer deserved to be transferred at this price.

Meanwhile, despite his desire to leave England for Spain, Ronaldo made it clear that Madrid should pay Manchester United the right amount before he could join them. But with Ramon Calderon reducing the maximum fee to 85 million euros, it doesn’t seem like a move will be done in some few days to come.

Perhaps Cristiano Ronaldo wants to feel much more respected for the talent he has. As a result, the transfer saga could continue until he is satisfied with the amount that Real Madrid will offer.

According to Spanish press reports Cristiano Ronaldo has purchased a home in the upmarket are of Madrid, Morajela. What adds weight to this claim is that it is apparently close to where Real Madrid President Ramon Calderon and manager Bernd Schuster live.

However Ronaldo, currently on holiday in Italy, is reportedly prepared to go back to Manchester when his three week vacation ends, despite the intense speculation regarding his future at Old Trafford.

This tends to indicate that where he plays next season may still not be as clear cut as some may think, including Ronaldo. Real President, Calderon today insisted Real will wait and only enter negotiations if Ronaldo “continues to insist on wanting to come and if Manchester let him leave”. Time will tell.

Manchester United fans will miss Ronaldo’s presence if he leaves Old Trafford this summer. In these last two years, he has been a sensation and has brought glory to the famous number 7 shirt. But for some reason, the “king of the Theatre of Dreams” just doesn’t want to continue his reign in England.

Consequently, a question has already been raised: who will wear the number 7 jersey?

There have been speculations that Portuguese young player Nani could be the next on the list since his style of play looks very much like Cristiano Ronaldo’s. But these are only suggestions. On the other hand, reports claim that the Red Devils want to sign Real Madrid’s Sneider. However, the player has snubbed United’s offer and it is very much a possibility that the Holland midfielder will not end going there this summer.

Perhaps Sir Alex Ferguson plans to make Sneider Ronaldo’s successor. In Real Madrid, the Dutch carries Beckham’s number, the number 23 jersey. And apparently, he had a good season.

And what about Ronaldo himself? Skipper Raul Gonzalez already wears the number 7 jersey and if Sneider doesn’t quit Real, he will still possess the number 23.

On July 7th, it will be interesting to know which number will be given to the Portuguese star if he indeed joins the Spanish giants.

Without “7” inscribed on his shirt, will Ronaldo lose his power like Beckham did?

So Ronaldo really wants to leave Manchester for Madrid? Then it is up to him to do the best he can to see his dream change into reality. He stated after Portugal’s loss to Germany that though he wanted to be in Real Madrid, the possibility of his transfer was in the hands of Manchester United.

The EPL Champions reported the Spanish club to Fifa but it appears like they have lost their appeal. Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has dismissed claims that his club were willing to sign Ronaldo for 100 million euros. Besides, Calderon told the media that the Ronaldo transfer saga wasn’t a war between two clubs in any way.

The Spanish Giants declared they will love to complete the signing of the Portuguese star on July 7th and this could only happen if United finally give up resisting them. Has United already lost Ronaldo even if he stays at the club?

Maybe Cristiano will change his mind and vow to commit himself to Manchester United until the end of his contract in 2012.

But this is only a “perhaps” so hard to be true.

Since June 19th, the Euros are over for Cristiano Ronaldo. One could suggest that Portugal’s exit is due to the fact that talismanic Ronaldo might have been distracted because of matters surrounding his club future.

And who knows if this is indeed the true reason?

Whichever is the cause, the reality is that Portugal could not make it into the semifinals and that Cristiano Ronaldo can now concentrate on his future with Manchester United.

It’s clearly apparent that the winger wants to leave Old Trafford for Real Madrid. However contractual terms with Manchester United prevent him from playing for the Spanish Giants come next season. Therefore, in Thursday’s meeting with Alex Ferguson, Ronnie will hope to convince his boss.

Real Madrid is a club who often wins in transfer cases. After being able to sign Beckham from Manchester, perhaps will they get the other number 7 shirt too: Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real Madrid President Raymond Calderon earlier told the media that his club weren’t “chasing” the Portuguese star though United’s Chairman David Gill insists the Spanish club have used “illegal” manners to try and take Ronaldo away from his current club.

Is United then trying to accuse Real Madrid of manipulating the young man?

Probably yes. But now Cristiano Ronaldo has firmly set up his mind on quitting the English Premiership as he stated in an interview that he doesn’t mind bothering Fergie.

He still hasn’t officially announced his plans but brief comments describe his feelings; Madrid is the club of his dreams and a move to Spain will break Zidan’s transfer price record.

Ronaldo is a talented player with an attractive personality who loves glamorous ladies such as his new girlfriend Nereida Guallardo. So why not go to Real which is believed by many to be a more glamorous club than Manchester United?

So, Ronaldo’s transfer saga is a war between a player’s opinion and a club’s decision..

Alex has promised to resist Franco’s team Real Madrid in their will to sign their star. If he can, then Ronaldo will end up staying at Old Trafford next season.

But what good is it to have an uncommitted talisman in a squad?

On Thursday, everything will be revealed;

Who will come up victorious from this long running battle?
