That’s according to reports in the Spanish media this weekend, which claim the Portuguese superstar has held talks with Los Blancos president Florentino Perez over his side’s end-of-season transfer plans.

After winning the Champions League and La Liga last term, Real have had a woeful campaign this term, currently sitting in fourth position in the league table; some 20 points behind runaway leaders and arch-rivals Barcelona. As a result, a large-scale overhaul of their playing squad has been anticipated by pundits.

Real president ‘obsessed’ with Kane

Top of Perez’s list of targets is purported to be England forward Kane, who has been in sensational form again this season, finding the net 33 times in 34 games in all competitions for Spurs and once again leading the Premier League top scoring charts. Spanish outlet Don Balon claim Perez is “obsessed” with the 24-year-old, with the 23-times-capped England international thought to be keen to move to a club with the ambition of Real.

It is believed that no fee has yet been discussed with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, although it has been claimed that former Spurs player Gareth Bale could be used as leverage in any potential move. Some reports have even gone so far as to claim Kane has already agreed to personal terms with Madrid, with some of the top ten betting sites having the 6’2″ striker at odds as short as 7/2 to be plying his trade at the Santiago Bernabeu next season.

Ronaldo: Perez always gets his man

For his part, Cristiano Ronaldo is said to be extremely confident that Kane will be his Real teammate come the end of the summer, attributing this to the determination of Perez to always get what he wants. The 33-year-old is no stranger to the negotiating prowess of the charismatic businessman, with his own future coming under intense speculation in recent months.

With Real fearing losing their marquee player to the Premier League after a miserable loss of form and tension with the club’s hierarchy, it is thought that Perez has made a number of concessions to the Portugal captain – including allowing him to have his say on his side’s summer transfer dealings. In addition to being high on the idea of playing alongside Kane, Diario Gol reports that Ronaldo has urged Perez to sell teammate Isco, amidst rumours of a spat between the two out-of-sorts teammates.

Isco to Liverpool?

Like Ronaldo, attacking midfielder Isco has struggled with consistency this term, and has himself been linked with a number of Premier League sides. Manchester United were thought to be the most likely destination for the 25-year-old, but with Jose Mourinho claiming he does not want to strengthen his side’s attack, The Mirror claim that Liverpool could be amongst the favourites to secure the Spanish international’s signature as they continue to look to replace Philippe Coutinho.

Whichever moves end up transpiring, it is almost certain Real Madrid will have a vastly different-looking side take to the pitch last season as they look to reassert their dominance over Spanish football.

That’s according to British publication The Daily Record, who claim sources close to the Portuguese state that he is willing to “fight for a move” away from the Bernabeu next summer.

Following the €222 million signing of Barcelona forward Neymar by Paris Saint-Germain last year, the spend-happy French champions are considered amongst favourites to be bidding for Ronaldo’s signature should he become available, along with the 32-year-old’s former club Manchester United.

According to Metro, Ronaldo believes Perez has “backtracked on a promise” to increase his wages after having one of the best seasons of his professional career, guiding Madrid to a memorable La Liga and Champions League double. Cristiano reportedly feels undervalued compared to those players considered below him in the pecking order for world’s best footballer: namely, Neymar and long-time rival Lionel Messi.

The 147-times-capped Portugal international was also reportedly angered by Perez’s recent media comments about his desire to have signed the Argentine superstar for Real earlier in the 30-year-old’s career, with some outlets claiming the player and president are no longer on speaking terms.

After signing a contract extension in November 2016 to take his stay at the Santiago Bernabeu through to 2021 at the earliest, however, there is plenty of time for Los Blancos to win around their star man.

Soon after the match, Ronaldo himself spoke to the press that he felt sad, and that the club knew the reason behinds it.

So, what is the reason exactly ? Since the match came later after Andres Iniesta crowned as UEFA best footballer, the press quickly accused him for getting disappointed for not winning the title. But then they find out that the previous meeting between Ronaldo and president Florentino Perez have caused all his problem. And that was when money talks…

Since 2009, Ronaldo pocketed €10 million per year. Minus the 23% tax, he still received €7,7 million. The actual tax income in Spain is 45 %, but since David Beckham’s law, then the 22% rest of the tax are paid by the club. Which means, every year, Real Madrid have to pay €15,5 million for Ronaldo’s salary plus taxes. And to make it worse, in a certain amount of salary, the tax could increase into 52%.

Since Ronaldo wished to renew the contract with Real Madrid (his contract will ends in 2015), he asked for a raise, and that’s when the number of €31,5 million came out. With that kind of money, Ronaldo expected to receive a clean €15 million per year. Unfortunately,  it is doubtedly that the club will pay for that kind of money in a year just for 1 player.

The option for Real Madrid is not to renew the contract with Ronaldo, which mean they only pay for €10 million or €15,5 million plus tax until his contract ends in 2015. The bad part is that in 3 years, Ronaldo can leave the club free of charge. But still,  this way they will save around €45 million, with the asumption of €15 million extra tax per year.

Of course, if Madrid rejects Ronaldo’s offer for a raise, then no wonder that the Portuguese star felt unwanted. However, Ronaldo proved that he is a professional player, and that the personal problem won’t disrupt his performance on the pitch by scoring 2 goals.

The question is, will Real Madrid change their mind and grant Ronaldo’s wish for a raise ? Is he really worth the price ? With all his goals and his achievements for the club, then yes, I think he is worth it. Come on, lets face the fact that Ronaldo is the best player in the world right now, but he only came on the 6th list for the highest paid footballer. Here are the list :

1. Samuel Eto’o                            €20 million

2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic              €14,5 million

3. Wayne Rooney                       €12,3 million

4. Didier Drogba                         €12 million

5. Lionel Messi                            €10,5 million

6. Cristiano Ronaldo                €10 million

By the list above, even Ibrahimovic gets bigger money, and he’s no wizard in football, imo…. So, is it wrong for Ronaldo to ask for more money ? Does it mean he’s greedy ? Nope, he’s just asking for the salary that he deserves.

Former Real Madrid player, David Beckham visited Beverly Hills Hotel to meet and greet all Real Madrid team . David, who played played for Madrid in 2003 – 2007 was seen having a serious conversation with president Florentino Perez, other members of the board of director, and also coach Mourinho. He also took sometime to have a chat with some of the players, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Iker Casillas.

Tonight, David Beckham will join his club LA Galaxy for a friendly match against Real Madrid. It will be their fourth match in  history, where all three previous matches ended up with Real Madrid’s victory.

Until now, Cristiano Ronaldo is becoming every football clubs fantasy. Having him on the team is like adding another 4 extra players on the field. England club such as ManCity, AC Milan, and Chelsea always show their interest on the Portuguese player. For those club, money is not a problem to bring the goal machine to their team.

Yet despite all of that, Ronaldo deserves to receive a bigger paycheck, considering his fenomenal contribution for the team.

According to Ecodiario , currently Ronaldo is under contract with Real Madrid until 2015 with a yearly salary of € 12 million. Next season, Perez is considering to raise his salary up to €16 million , where he believes that it could help them to extend the contract with Ronaldo until 2017.

But if it finally happens, Ronaldo still won’t be the highest paid footballer. So far, Samuel Eto’o gets the highest paycheck from Russian club, Anzhi, with a yearly income of €20 million.

Supporters of Los Blancos have a tendency of being too silent when Real Madrid are down during a game. Otherwise, they prefer to insult their own players or leave the stadium early.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid have a long way to go in the season as a team that are yet to glue very well.

Speaking to the media, Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his worry at the fans†attitude. He explained:

“Yes, we have to assume the duty of putting on a great show but itâ€s just not possible sometimes.

“We try, always… but the team doesnâ€t play well all the time and I think that the fans could support us more.”

As an example, Cristiano Ronaldo singled out the fans of his former team, Manchester United. He said:

“Take Manchester United fans for example. They were very intimidating against other teams like Liverpool or Manchester City.

“Iâ€m sure that if our fans tried to do that, it would give us players a big boost and it would be way better for everyone.”

Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney made a perfect match during the Portugueseâ€s spell at Manchester United; for most defenders, it was impossible to try and contain both without being deceived by the duoâ€s admirable abilities.

After Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United for Real Madrid, many predicted and even wished that the former number 7 player would flop in La Liga.

So far though, Cristiano Ronaldo is proving those people wrong. Despite missing almost two months of action for Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo remains Los Blancos†most dangerous player on the pitch.

Cristiano Ronaldo has already netted thirteen times in competitive matches for Real Madrid with seven of those goals being scored in 8 La Liga appearances only.

Now the Portuguese star – who realized his childhood dream by joining the Spanish giants in July 2009 – is looking ahead for a bright future with Real Madrid.

The clubâ€s president, Florentino Perez, spent an astronomical amount of money last summer to land the services of players such as Kaka, Xabi Alonso, Karim Benzema, and Cristiano Ronaldo himself.

Still, Los Blancos are not done yet on the market. Reports suggest that Florentino Perez is already making a list of players to buy which includes Atletico Madridâ€s ace Sergio Aguero.

Cristiano Ronaldoâ€s former teammate at Manchester United, Wayne Rooney, is also part of the list. But this inclusion by Florentino Perez is mostly backed by the man himself, Cristiano Ronaldo.

In a statement to the press, the Portuguese winger, who winked at Portugalâ€s bench during Rooneyâ€s dismissal in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup, gladly spoke about Wayne Rooneyâ€s potential:

“He can be a spectacle and a sensation at Real Madrid. He has all the qualities to succeed in La Liga.”

Talking about Wayne Rooneyâ€s attributes, the lad has stamina, aggressiveness, and strength as well. Partnering with Cristiano Ronaldo, who is getting better every day since his return in November, will surely give nightmares to defenders in La Liga and in Europe.

However, will Cristiano Ronaldoâ€s wish ever come to happen?

Wayne Rooney looks set to end his career at Manchester United since moving from Everton in Liverpool, to Old Trafford.

Unconfirmed reports even tell that the England forward will pen a new deal which will see him remain with the Red Devils for much longer, if not forever.

In other words, are Real Madrid suffering from the Cristiano Ronaldo Syndrome?

In any case, Saturdayâ€s result away to Sporting Gijon in the Spanish Primera Liga could not give a positive response to all these questions.

Real Madrid entered last weekendâ€s league game with the home defeat against AC Milan in the Champions League still ringing in the back of their minds.

Virtually and analytically, it was clear that Real Madridâ€s weakness came from defensive mistakes. Indeed, conceding seven goals in only three matches is definitely a poor record – especially for a side as illustrious as Real Madrid.

On Saturday, the Spanish Giants succeeded in keeping their lines free from any goal. Unfortunately for Real Madrid, things didnâ€t go so well for them at the other end of the field.

Esteban Granero had a very good shot saved by Sporting Gijonâ€s goalkeeper during the game. In the last minutes, Raul thought he had given Real Madrid the three points. However, his goal was disallowed by the referees who claimed that Kaka had handled the ball before making the assist.

It is true that Real Madrid were also missing the services of strikers Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain, but was these absentees the cause behind the teamâ€s failure to score and win?

Well, Real Madrid could not do what Barcelona did earlier in the season – which was to beat Sporting Gijon.
In the end, Los Blancos failed to put pressure on the Blaugrana by leapfrogging them at the top of the table for at least 24 hours.

Finally on Sunday, it was the Catalans who had the final word after thrashing Real Zaragoza 6-1 at the Camp Nou to create a three-point lead at the top of the Spanish Primera Liga standings.

It is so early in the season, yet Real Madrid already seem to shake. It looks like Kaka, Xabi Alonso, or Alvaro Arbeloa have not found their correct rhythm. Besides that, there is also the case of injuries going on in the squad.

Real Madrid certainly need more time to become the strong side that so many fans around the world would love to watch playing.

The questions are: how long will it take for Los Blancos to transform their financial value into an indestructible footballing force? Who is holding their success? Cristiano Ronaldo or destiny?

C. Ronaldo injured

On Tuesday morning, Real Madrid’s president Florentino Perez received a strange letter from a wizard who claims to have been contracted by someone personally close to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Actually, this wizard is not an unknown person to Real Madrid. It is believed that he is the same priest who put curses on David Beckham, Fabio Cannavaro, Sergio Ramos, Raul, and “Fat” Ronaldo.

The voodoo priest predicted that Cristiano Ronaldo will spend most of his time sidelined with injury than on the field of play.

A part of his letter wrote:

“Iâ€m not anti-madridista. I have nothing against this great club. I am a professional and someone has paid very well for me using my powers. I have been hired to make Cristiano Ronaldo suffer a serious injury.
I canâ€t promise that it will be a serious injury but heâ€ll certainly be out of action more than playing.”

According to the voodoo priest, the curse is already working against Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact, the Portuguese winger didn’t score against Tenerife to make it five out of five in La Liga and the wizard explained that this failure to score last weekend was part of the curse.

“Itâ€s a step-by-step process and depends on various factors so the result you are looking for is achieved sooner or later,” the priest explained in the letter.

The conspiracy is strange, but the priest attempted to clarify things by pointing Florentino Perez as the main reason behind this plot. Another part of the letter read:

“Mr President of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez: ‘Since you challenged me with you return at Madrid, I would like to inform you that from this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo won’t be your soccer star, as he will be losing value. It’s nothing personal, but you challenged me, and I will answer, we’ll see who wins this challenge. Kink regards'”

Earlier this year in January, just days before the FIFA World Player of the Year Gala, Cristiano Ronaldo astonishingly survived a bizarre car crashed. The front of his Ferrari was completely destroyed, but he was left with absolutely no bruises on his body.

Will he survive the voodoo priest’s curse this time? Vote below.

(Many thanks to Adrian Serban for communicating this story to me, and to Isaac Asante for the English to Spanish translation of the priest’s last statement.)

Florentino Perez and Ramon Calderon

Recommendations and praises havenâ€t stopped falling on Florentino Perez – the man who is believed to have made it all happen.

Real Madrid can now boast of their line-up of stars which comprises names such as Kaka, Benzema, Xabi Alonso, and Arbeloa; all these players are placed alongside Los Blancos†long-time prey, Cristiano Ronaldo.

For most Madridistas, the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo in the club is a source of pride, amazement, and a dream come true for all parties.

After the collapse of the Portugueseâ€s summer transfer move from Manchester to Madrid last year, many thought that the relationship between the two clubs was so damaged that Cristiano Ronaldoâ€s dream move to Real Madrid was forever dead.

And with all the “I love Man United” comments coming out from the mouth of Cristiano Ronaldo, it seemed hard to imagine the 2009/2010 football season with the current World Player of the Year out of Old Trafford but at the Santiago Bernabeu.

But as Cristiano Ronaldo had stated time and times again last season, the football career of the grown kid from Madeira was in the hands of the future.

After Manchester Unitedâ€s Champions League final defeat to Barcelona in Rome, rumors over Cristiano Ronaldoâ€s future with the Red Devils grew louder and louder. Then on a morning, it was announced that Manchester United had accepted a fee of £ 80 million from Los Blancos to sell their ace, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Praises quickly began to fell on the man of the moment, Florentino Perez. The Spanish giants president received admiration amid criticism from all over the world. The simple question that filled the thoughts of some amazed football supporters who couldnâ€t believe the reality was “How did Perez do that?”

In the newspapers, on TV, on radio, and over the internet, the media kept declaring that “Florentino Perez has signed Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United to Real Madrid”.

Was this a true statement?

The one that spent weeks and even months sweating to make a mega move for the Portuguese winger now claims to be the man behind Florentino Perezâ€s achievement. In other words, Real Madridâ€s former President, Ramon Calderon, proudly declared that HE signed Cristiano Ronaldo.

Speaking to the media this week, the 58-year-old declared:

“Cristiano Ronaldo, as everyone now knows, was hired during my tenure (as president),

“I gave €115 million to the club and €100 million of benefits that have allowed the president (Florentino Perez) to make the purchases made.”

Whereas Manuel Pellegrini is calmly working on setting infinite peace in Real Madridâ€s unpopular dressing rooms, the fight goes on behind the scenes between the irritated Calderon and the majestic Florentino Perez.

The truth of who signed Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid will forever remain a matter of justice.
