Zinedine Zidane: Real Madrid Will Pay A Large Sum For Cristiano Ronaldo
Former French International, Zinedine Zidane reported to Media on Sunday regarding Real Madrid’s interest in Cristiano Ronaldo. Saying that the Spanish Champions are ready to pay a record breaking fee to bring the young star to Spain.
“Real would not be frightened of paying a large sum of money because in the past every time they have wanted a player they have managed to bring him to Madrid,” Zidane told a news conference.
“Obviously, it will be up to the player. If he wants to go, one day or another he will be at Real Madrid.”
The record for the highest paid transfer fee is held by Real Madrid when they paid 78 million euros to Juventus in 2001 for Zidane, who touched on the subject by saying he hopes Real Madrid pay more for Ronaldo than they did for him, that it would be a weight lifted off his shoulders.
Ronaldo for Ballon d’Or
“I think he’s had a superb season, he won the (English) championship and the Champions League,” said Zidane, who retired after the 2006 World Cup final, at an Adidas event.
“I think he stopped at the quarter-finals of Euro 2008 because facing him was a great Germany team who caused (Portugal) a lot of problems.
“It doesn’t take anything away from the success that he’s had all year, I think he’s not far away from winning the Ballon d’Or and it would be deserved.”

I think Ronaldo is going to leave.
I wonder if Real Madrid is involved in Zidane’s interview. smells fishy to me.
I feel the same was as Zidane.
I hope RM pay the biggest transfer fee ever recorded in the history of football. This will make United happy, I’m sure.. then RM can pay Ronaldo a salary which is deserved.
cheers
I agree that Ronaldo should win the Ballon D’or. I hope he does because he deserves it more than any other player
Barrie T is right about Ronaldo getting a salary he deserves. But like i said, Ronaldo leaving would be a terrible loss.
Hey guys,
Thanks for your comments. The word is that Ronny will be announcing his decision within the next couple of days using a public note. We’re hoping that Ronny stays at Man Utd. There is still so much to do……..
