The Guardian reports.

Speaking from Portugal’s training camp in the Swiss city of Neuchatel on Wednesday, Ronaldo made a keenly awaited statement on his future. The 23-year-old stated that he wanted to leave Old Trafford to sign for the Spanish champions if they made good on their promises of world record transfer fees and wages. Spanish media reports have placed the value of a Madrid offer to United at €100m and the player’s salary at £15m a year.

“I want to play for Real Madrid, but only if it is true they are eager to pay me and Manchester United what they have been saying they will,” said Ronaldo in an interview with the respected Brazilian website Terra. “However, it does not depend on me.”

So is Ronaldo a greedy bastard, is he Calling Real’s bluff or is it all just bollocks – you decide. Still as a Chelsea fan, I would gladly see the back of him.
