SPANISH GIANTS STILL TRACKING RONALDO

zocoss SG

Cristiano Ronaldo could still be heading to Spain this summer despite Manchester United's insistence that the Portuguese star is not for sale at any price.

The 21-year-old has been in superb form for the Red Devils this season and Spanish giants Real Madrid are reported to have renewed their interest in the player.

Sergio Alves, who claims to be a representative of the winger, told Barcelona radio station Onda Cera: "When Real and Barca are involved the future is always open, not closed.

"Given a little bit of time, the situation may change, let's see."

Ronaldo's future in England looked bleak after he was made a scapegoat for England's World Cup exit to Portugal in the summer, winking in the direction of the Portugal bench after Wayne Rooney's dismissal.

He overcame the early-season taunts to find his best form to date for United and is currently the second-highest goalscorer in the Barclays Premiership with 13 goals.

Geez, i hate this kinda rumour.
They would only unsettle the current United squad.
Get lost la Barca and Madrid. Barca took away Ronnie from our gasp and Beckham was sold to Real and now they wan Ronaldo. How dare they! Twisted Evil

Cheers.

Potentially it is good business for MUFC if they can sell for 45m, cause it means 30m profit.

however as we seen, the money coming in simply goes to service the loans, debts. And despite all assurances, no new signings.

If Ronaldo can rem the loyalty and support he got after the last WC, he may not leave, else he will surely go.

no use selling for 45million. the profit they made will still invest on the player replacing ronaldo. cfm tio chop as they noe manu r 30million richer. Very Happy

relac....i always believe no one is indispensible. Its no point holding on to Ronaldo if he has set his brain to leave.

he is contracted till 2010? Thats like at least 2 more years before SAF starts worrying....however, if he wants to leave, then sell for 45m...its good business. Call it uncanny or what, but players after leaving Man U didn't end up better. Besides more money, there is nothing that Man U cannot offer him that Real Madrid or Barcelona can. As it is, he is obscenely rich, does he need more?

But if he wants to go, Man U shldn't hold onto him. 45m can get you two - three more players to fill the void.

Now even big Phil is encouraging ronaldo to leave.

I just wish these so called big shots would keep their mouths to themselves,
and do their own image no harm..
