Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a six-year
contract with Real Madrid and will complete his £80million move
from Manchester United on July 1.
United confirmed earlier this month they had accepted a
world-record bid from the Primera Division side and the two clubs
have now finalised an agreement for the Portugal winger's
transfer.
A statement on Madrid's website on Friday evening read: "Real
Madrid and Manchester United have signed a final agreement for the
transfer of the rights of Cristiano Ronaldo from July 1.
"The player will be tied to Real Madrid for the next six seasons
and will be presented on July 6 at the Santiago Bernabeu."
United said on their website: "Cristiano Ronaldo's departure is
all but done and dusted after Real Madrid and Manchester United
finalised the agreement for his transfer on Friday evening.
"The Portuguese winger was the subject of a world record
£80million offer from the Spanish club on Thursday 11 June. He has
since been on holiday but a return to work with new employers now
beckons, with the sale set to be completed on Wednesday 1
July."
