Manchester United are willing
to sell Cristiano Ronaldo - for
£75 million.
The Mirror says United boss Sir
Alex Ferguson and the club's money men believe this
is the magic number that would make the move happen and are
prepared for an official offer in the next few days.
United won't sell Ronaldo for
anything less than a top price, but they accept business could be
done if Real Madrid president
Florentino Perez can back up his
dream with cash. Perez publicly announced in Spain yesterday that
Ronaldo is his next target, to
play alongside Kaka.
Ferguson knows a £75m fee is good value and it would give him
the funds to sign two or three players. United have not raised the
subject with Ronaldo, who has been on holiday before joining the
Portugal squad for their World Cup qualifier away to Albania.
However, Ferguson has told friends in the game that £75m is the
level that would make United take Real seriously and see the Reds
star head for Spain.
